General Suggestions on Diversity in Volunteer Programs

"They will never forget how you make them feel"
"People
will forget what you say, they will forget what you do,
but they
never will forget how you make them feel."
--
Maya
Angelou
If we remember this thought, we will treat one another better. Many people speak all the right words, but their body language, their mannerisms, the way they choose to shake our hands, or not, all work together to make us feel valued or discarded.
Ms. Angelou's words are true in dealing with any age group, any ethnicity, men, women, boys, girls, and any cultural background. In a world of terrorists, war, and even genocide, we have to learn to live on this globe in harmony.
Join me in working every day to make every single person we meet
feel good about that meeting.
