There’s a special kind of happiness that comes from giving your time to others. Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others,’ and for Anne, these words ring true.
Every week, Anne visits Marlene, who lives in an aged care home. What started as a simple act of kindness quickly blossomed into genuine friendship. Together, they share stories and explore each other’s cultures, these experiences deeply enriching them both.
Anne says of her friendship with Marlene ‘I am really lucky to have her in my life, she says I am helping her, but she is also helping me!’ said Anne.
If you have ever wanted to make a real difference in someone’s life, perhaps your own, consider becoming an aged care volunteer. By giving your time, you might not only change someone’s week but transform their world.
