"I
feel that when we perform acts of kindness, not just others, but
we ourselves, benefit; we develop a sense of camaraderie and leadership,
as well as social skills unavailable in any textbook. In order for
us to provide for ourselves, we must provide for others. It is vital
to the progression of society for people to work together in an
attempt to make our world a better to place to live.”

"I
learned a valuable lesson about teamwork. By giving our time for
this project, it has bettered us in working as a team, to socialize
as a team, to understand the problem as a group, and finally to
finish our goal. Coming together to help benefit others can certainly
make the community a better place to live.”

"This
is the most wonderful thing I ever heard about. I always felt
the need to help other people and through the Feinstein Program
I learned how simple and rewarding it was. I want to thank Mr.
Feinstein for awakening that part of me that was asleep and make
me realize that never is too late to help.”

"I have
a great sense of achievement from my involvement, such as learning
new responsibilities for leadership and compassion that will stay
with me for the rest of my life. I also have more confidence which
led me to believe in myself with the pursuit of my education and
ultimately, a new career.”

" My
outlook has changed toward volunteer work. I had felt in the past
that I didn’t have time to be a volunteer. I have learned,
however, that all the time in the world is not worth near as much
as the smile of a child when for the first time he felt good about
himself and the things he has done. If I kept even one child from
a life of crime and drugs, I have accomplished more than just
completing a college course -- I have made a difference!!”
