Give Kids The World | 04.19.2020

Happy National Volunteer Week! The past month has certainly been surreal.

The day we left we made sure to make time to have their hair and tattoos redone for the plane ride home. My daughter wouldn’t let me wash her hair before she could show her friends at school. Some amazing people working in there too!!” (click for more)

The holidays are a big deal around the Village, both during this season and all year round. They’re a great time to make lasting memories and spend time together as a family.
