sasha_featherHere are some things I like about volunteering with LGBT books to prisoners!
I can do the things that play to my strengths, for instance: posting to the twitter account, screening letters, sorting books, training volunteers, filling request letters.
Other people can do the things that they are better at, and that I am not so good at, such as budgeting, insurance, repetitive tasks like wrapping and stamping.
Interdependence for the win!
It feels great to have some meaningful work that I can actually do. I've been screening letters lately and it's something I can do just a little bit at a time. It feels like we are making a difference and care taking for people who don't get much in life. I enjoy looking at the books. Right now we have a few too many in certain genres like contemporary fiction (esp. women's interest), so on Tuesday I sorted in the back room and made some boxes for the thrift store.
