There's Noting Like Volunteering and Giving Back!

In February and during my spring break of this year, I volunteered a few days for six hours at M.V. Leckie Elementary School in South West, Washington, DC. I know it's not many hours, but knowing you're doing something for a great cause, can feel like forever. Especially when children are involved!


Here's just a few that I chosen to post.
