Character Counts by Krista Peace

Character Counts is a wonderful opportunity to get out of your “daily bubble” and step into a different life. I don’t get to be around children often and it is such a joy to do so. While volunteering at the Boy and Girls club, I genuinely had a great time teaching the children. These kids are engaging, intelligent, and very funny. You may actually learn more from them than they learn from you. There’s no reason to be intimidated or feel like you need the perfect lesson, the children are just so happy to see a new face and learn from someone other than their teacher. We all had a great time together and I left excited to go serve again.
