" -Nothing is as strong as the heart of a volunteer.-Jimmy Doolittle.
I think what Jimmy Doolittle said about volunteering perfectly captures the essence of the importance of helping others. The strength of a volunteer's heart lies in their selfless dedication and willingness to make a difference without expecting anything in return. It's this genuine desire to contribute to the well-being of others that fuels positive change in communities. Volunteering is not just about offering time or resources; it's about sharing a part of oneself to uplift others, which can be incredibly powerful and transformative. "

Millennium Fellowship Project: Jovenes Unidos por el Desarrollo Educativo de Mexicali
