Monologue Mania Day # 1411 Volunteer by Janet S. Tiger (c) Dec. 25 , 2017

(A woman in her 50s comes onstage, she is smiling)
Why am I a volunteer?
Simple!
My family always volunteered!
My mother, my grandmother, I am just
one of a long line of volunteers. I would go with my mother when she
took food to new immigrants....and when I visited my grandparents, my grandmother told me HER grandmother was a volunteer .....with Moses! When he brought down the 10 Commandments,she typed them
up........
Me, I loved computers from when my
children first got them, I wanted to use them when I volunteered.
So, when JFS came into the modern
era, I knew I could help with email!
Now, we get thousands of emails a
year - for assistance in so many ways....from so many different types of
people...here's one.....
(Holds up
her phone)
....Our family needs a place to
stay, can you help us?
or.... 'we are having trouble
with my uncle who lives with us, he forgets to take his medication, and we are
worried......'
or....this is my favorite....
What can I do to help? ,
I'm only 15......I'm only one person
That one is my favorite because -
our whole organization started with one person......at a time......the jolly 16
was 16 women, added one at a time..
One is a very powerful number!
Each person, each volunteer, each
donor, each recipient of our help - is one person. And by helping, one person can change the world!
(Turns to leave, stops, looks back)
So......when you help one
person, it's like saving the whole world......
