Auberle
Good Samaritans Looking to Help!
Background
One of the important lessons we teach the children is
to have them not see themselves always in need but rather
understand they have talents that can benefit others and
they need to use those talents to that end. For this reason,
many Auberle children participate in the Bishop Wuerl
Good Samaritan program. |
| Auberle
youth volunteers have participated in a number of cleanup
and beautification projects for several years. This past
year, a much greater emphasis has been placed on serving
the elderly.
Using
fliers to help spread the word, Auberle children serve
the elderly by cutting grass, raking leaves, shoveling
snow, painting, making repairs and doing general cleanup.
The children feel proud of the work they do, which is
always much appreciated. They leave with a good feeling
and sense of accomplishment.
Sometimes
Auberle children will team up with outside groups as
they did this past year with the GE Volunteers in completing
a number of projects for the elderly. The children understand
that giving is often more rewarding than receiving. |
