[Community-Service] Volunteering with a Kool-Aid Smile

[Jeanetta price]

Go Kool Aid! You are super cool and sweet! So good to hear great stories of the blind volunteering plus how we are accepted as equal to our peers on site. This is our season to show the world that blind people volunteer too! Blind people are givers! Blind people are passionate about helping others live the life they want.  

Daria, keep smiling in all that you do, because people can not only see smiles but we can feel smiles too! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🍿🍿🍿🍿🥰🥰🥰
