Uncommon sense – A Zero Sum Equation 

Always give without remembering, always receive without forgetting.

Unconditional giving is like parental loving at its highest form. Good parents don't love their children because the children love them first. They don't "love back" their children. They love their children at all times, even when they may seem unlovable.

To give without expecting return – the highest form of volunteerism.

Thank you to all our dedicated volunteers.
