friendly energy sources, such as wind power generation. The first project we
are pursuing is a vermiculture (worm composting) program for the campus,
attempting to reduce waste produced from dining hall leftovers. As our global
environmental and ecological sustainability issues escalate, I am thankful that
this class has allowed me to help out in a small way.

My community service work at the Bryn Athyn
Thrift Shop is a great experience. It is a place of
therapy for most who have visited the shop. I have
been a shopper there since I was enrolled in college
(four years now). I have become a volunteer at the
shop, assisting the customers and other employees.
I chose this line of work because I love business,
and I love talking and working with people. I love
being surrounded by people who care about serving
others through products and services. A few of my
duties at B.A.T.S. are sorting and handling clothing
for the sales floor, assisting customers (physically and mentally), and checking
them out at the register. Serving others in this manner is a great way to show
altruism and the passion for loving and caring for God’s people.

I am volunteering at Keansburg EMS (Emergency
Medical Services) located in my hometown in New
Jersey. I use my training as an EMT (Emergency
Medical Technician) to assist the people around
me when they need medical attention immediately.
An EMT is a specially trained medical technician
certified to provide basic emergency services before
and during transportation to a hospital. I am also in
the process of joining Bryn Athyn Fire Department/
EMS, hoping to offer my assistance until I graduate.
