Can you describe a memorable experience you had as a volunteer?
My first support for a pregnant woman at her medical appointments, and for the follow-up after the birth. It really touched me, and I was invited when she and her family left the Foyer. When we see each other at the bazaar, it’s a joy; we experienced something significant together.
