Thoughts on Volunteer Experience.

"I currently teach middle school in the Bronx, NY and am so thankful for the moments I had learning from students in the Little Lights program. My students rock my world--I feel very blessed for the experiences I'm having now and I'm sure I'm a more successful teacher in an urban setting as a result of having spent time with kids in D.C. I hope to come back and volunteer at Little Lights in the future." --Elizabeth Hundley, Spring 2008 volunteer
