The position I'm applying to volunteer for requires a minimum 18 month commitment, but I'm planning to be around MUCH longer than that. These kids need some stability, long term stability. I'm hoping to provide that. Thank you so much. :)Jainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05666481569069955190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-61653019553376671692008-08-25T18:12:00.000-07:002008-08-25T18:12:00.000-07:00Good for you!!

It is so hard for me not to take them home. CASA or any mentoring program is a wonderful thing. It means so very much to the children. Many times they act like they don't care, but then they miss you like crazy and want to know how soon they can see you again.<BR/>I think it is wonderful. I think you would be PERFECT for it. My husband's aunt was a CASA in VA for a long, long time. It changed her life in a good way.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6558738156708349769.post-57107468495508752122008-08-21T13:37:00.000-07:002008-08-21T13:37:00.000-07:00Lura-Thank you so much :) Thanks for stopping by. ...Lura-Thank you so much :) Thanks for stopping by.
