¡Únete a nuestra familia de voluntarios! Si estás interesado en integrarte en su comunidad aqui en Oregón central y ayudar a otros en sus necesidades, las cuales creo que alguna vez todos hemos tenido, no dejes que eso mismo le pase a otra persona. No dudes en levantar tu mano y decir “yo me ofrezco”, “yo puedo ayudar”, “yo quiero participar en la comunidad”.
Es solo cuestión de regalar un poco de tu tiempo libre, de tus conocimientos, de tu ayuda. Recuerda que si no nos damos la mano entre nosotros mismos, nunca vamos a lograr una sociedad digna de admirarse.
