Volunteers

Volunteers add such a special flavor to the foster home. We get volunteers for a few hours and then all the way to the ones who stay for months and indeed years like Kay. We have volunteers from all different countries. This week Sweden, England, France, Australia and Holland were represented and we have a lot of Chinese who visit us regularly. I love the variety and the fact that they have such interesting stories to tell.
Chrissy and Julee volunteered full time here with us for six months. What a joy they were to have and how they loved on the babies and the babies on them. Thank you so much to the two of you for all your hard work and dedication to the children. You made such a valuable contribution and I am so grateful. I know that we have made an impression on your hearts and that you will not soon forget us. All of us at Starfish wish you well and I pray that God will lead you down your road with some clear and precise instructions, so you have no doubt what you need to do.

Life, Love and Laughter,
Amanda
