You call this volunteer work?

As part of an annual company wide initiative, I was out of the office yesterday to volunteer at the Ronald McDonald House in Crumlin. I was with a group of ten who went over to the house to host a BBQ for the children and their families. We couldn't have asked for better weather (considering we are in Ireland). Being American, it was decided that I had the most experience with cooking outdoors in sunny weather so I manned the grill while everyone else made salads and helped with food distribution. It was eye opening to meet the children who are so sweet and happy even though they have been through a lot medically.


The Ronald McDonald house runs mostly on donations so please visit their site to donate. Or, next time you're buying a Big Mac or chicken McNuggets, drop in a couple of Euros (or dollars!) into their collection bin.
