It’s not too often that a movie really touches me. Especially an 11 minute one. Well here is one that did. It’s one that I just discovered and one that I will be sharing with volunteers. I have always believed that It doesn’t take much to be the change in someone’s life. A smile. A kind word. A lending hand. A shoulder to cry on. A listening ear. A laugh shared. Little things can mean a lot.
It is good to remind volunteers sometimes that everything they do, from the little things to the bigger and more public things mean a lot. And sometimes we don’t even realise that a small action on our part can have amazing consequences for another.
This 11 minutes or so gave me encouragement and hope too. And faith in the goodness of a world where so much bad news reigns.
I am passing this little gem forward. I hope that some of you do too!
Thank you for sharing this amazing youtube clip with such a powerful message. I definitely need tissues on hand every time I watch this clip. It is very thought provoking and moving. Two quotes come to mind after watching this.

The power of Volunteering; it’s the little things that can make such a difference in somebody’s life.
Hey DJ, the video says it's "private" on Youtube. Any suggestions? Thx! -Scott
