Publisher's Note
Ordinary People Can Make an Extraordinary Difference!
Deep within each one of us lies the ability to step up and care for those in need, even though we often feel overwhelmed by a complex world. More than 200 million people throughout the world offer their time and love to volunteering.
The stories in Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul highlight the efforts of everyday people in the United States and around the globe who volunteer with the American Red Cross, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, the Peace Corps, Points of Light, Rotary(r) and many, many other nonprofit organizations. Lovingly chosen from more than six thousand stories, poems and cartoons, these tales will inspire you to do everything in your power to help those in need. Chapters include: The Rewards of Volunteering, Giving Back, Making a Difference, New Appreciation, Love and Kindness, Defining Moments, A Matter of Perspective, Overcoming Obstacles and On Wisdom.
You will cherish the story of a community that rallied together to send warm winter coats to refugee families in Kosovo. You'll be moved by the tale of a woman with a "smiley voice" who made audiotapes for the visually impaired despite a losing battle with cancer. And, you'll never forget the eight-year-old boy without arms or legs who fearlessly wielded a tennis racquet to propel a ball down the length of a room. And you'll be charmed by a rabbit named Cadberi who brings boundless joy to residents of a nursing home.
Chicken Soup for the Volunteer's Soul will leave an indelible imprint on your heart and inspire you to care for others.
