and more children under the age of 16 have been joining
our volunteer corps. They bring their special gifts of
wonder, enthusiasm and love of animals enriching us all.
Of course they must and do contribute their labor, as
well. We never want to turn down a volunteer because of
age. Presently they range from 10 to 87 years young. However,
people under 12 must be accompanied by a parent.
It is especially inspiring when our younger volunteers
use their talents, determination and courage and do
things that have impact in the greater community. For
example if you visit our DUCKLING
PROJECT PAGE you will meet Tim
Eisemann who through is extraordinary determination
and guile rescued 22 ducklings. Below is a article published
in NEWS DAY their KIDS DAY section on Feb. --2005. The
drawing and text were contributed by Samantha
and Nicole, respectively,
The result of their collaboration has been an in pouring
of applications from young volunteers and their parents.
Sam and Nicole were honored by the Kings Park School
Board of Education for their contributions as volunteers
at Angel's Gate! Long time volunteer Kim
Moran, who recently donated her hair to kids
undergoing cancer treatment, inspired her religion class
to visit and to raise money for Angel's Gate. Two members
of that class were the very same Samantha and Nicole
mentioned above. Marina came from France to volunteer
for a month! |
