One Among Our Stars

Volunteering Enriched My Life!

Aparna Jagadeesh, Bay Area, California

My journey with LTSF started two years ago and I feel privileged to be a part of the Bay Area LTSF chapter . I see volunteering for LTSF to be something more than just a way to give back to the community. I feel it is a wonderful and meaningful opportunity to make a tangible difference in the lives of others while gaining valuable experiences and skills. Again, it is all about working as a team and also building and expanding the team to progress in our mission to serve.  Over the two years I do see a sense of purpose and fulfillment, knowing that my efforts are contributing to a greater good. As a representative of the Bay Area chapter I feel a sense of fulfillment with the scope of activities we have pursued . The ability to rope in new families and children into volunteering for LTSF has given us the inspiration and motivation to march ahead into 2025 with vigor and zeal and plan many new projects to help serve the community. Volunteering for LTSF has also helped  sharpen my teamwork, communication skills and has given me a great asset of forming new connections and some long-lasting friendships. Here in the Bay Area chapter, we all share a common goal of serving the community and are thrilled to have more volunteers come on board with a sense of belonging .
