for my service hours i have done vacation bible school at grace.i love working there. its so cool because my family has been going to bible school since my brother who is now 26 was in preschool. my brother and i work there to together.its alot of fun and the kids are so cute. another project i do is hospice for osf. me my mom and my brother all do it together.hospice is when people come to help sick and dieing people who have less than a year to live. hospice voulenteers visit with the person who is sick and u can sit with then read to them or if they are able to talk or want to talk. Hospice patients can always be taken off of hospice if they improve or have been in the program for more than a year. me and my mom and brother visit this really sweet lady named mary she has been on hospice 12 different times and pronounced dead alot of times.shes so nice and we visit her every thursday for about a hour or so. she calls us her family and we call her grandma we have bonded with her alot.we have been seeing her for almost a year. im sure we will visit her even after shes off of hospice.
