I really don't think people understand the idea of volunteer work. My mom and I volunteered to ring the Salvation Army bell outside the mall today for 2 hours. People walked by and told us to come wash their tires if we need money and that "people like us" make them feel bad because we are standing outside ringing the bell for the needy and they feel like they HAVE to give something. We were very nice and did not feed into their anger but what these people don't realize is we are not the ones in need. We are volunteering our time to help those less fortunate. If everyone just gave a little bit of their time the world would be a better place.
