Why I am in LBB
I fervently believe that when you volunteer, you get far more out of the experience than you give and that Margaret Mead was right when she said that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. We’re here to make life better for those who need our help and using my teaching skills and knowledge helps me to do this. It’s an absolute joy to speak with people from different cultures, with different life experiences and forge that human connection.
