Tell their stories here!  Send me an image reflecting the project and a few words (that they themselves wrote?) about the experience.  Please include locality and contact information. Send it in an email to info@modestmedia(dot)com.

When I was a youth one of the BEST memories I have is of bringing may baskets to the local nursing home on May Day with my 4-H troop.  The home was on the hill in Sanford, Me nearby the stable we rode horses at.  I think I was very apprehensive at first and that is why the actual experience has stuck with me for so long.  To this day I would like to get back to a point where I could do some volunteer work at a nursing home.  AND to this day, I so wish that actually delivering May baskets on May Day were still a strong tradition.  Philanthropy comes in many different forms- sometimes it can be just as simple as giving flowers to a stranger.

Please tell me you or your child’s story!
