This is something that few people lack to do I have noticed. Community service is something that is beneficial for the community, it helps those around you to see that there are people in the world that will help in anyway that is possible. There are people that do community service very often and they love to do this. doing Community service I have been able to see the happiness in those faces that appreciate the help that you are offering. I was able to offer services to an elderly home called Village Oaks. There I help them play Bingo and served ice cream to them one time as well. Those who were there were very well they loved to talk to you and they enjoyed the smiles that were given. To make things more interesting we would have them bring in a quarter and for every game that they would win they would receive one of the quarters that were brought in. There were competitions on whose team could win the mast games, and at the end of the Bingo time that table would be declared "the lucky table." Those who would show up to the Bingo always looked forward to it they enjoy seeing new faces and being able to have a different thing to do everyday.
The thing that changes the most is that people...aren't there forever. Just at my last visit one of our regular Bingo players didn't show up and we just assumed that she was taking a nap and didn't realize what time it was. Once when the hour was up and we were about to leave when we talked with one of the leaders at Village Oaks and she told us that the woman who didn't show up had just passed away. Its something to think about that they people that you help may not always be there the next day so those that you help or want to help, you should and make sure that you bring back something that you learned about from it.
