Hello, I am a volunteering junkie. One Brick is one of my enablers to feed my need. I've got involved with OB since late 06 and have feel in love with the organization since then. The variety of events are great and since the events are so short and flexible, it completely fits the motto "volunteering made easy". Even if something comes up and I can't make the event, there is no big guilt-trip involved =D My first event was a canned goods sort at a Bay Area Food Bank. It was chaotically fun with all the volunteers running around, sorting the cans onto different tables and before I knew it, it was cleanup time! I've also participated in the OB's many New Orleans trips. I was part of the first group to go in May 07, although none of us knew each other, it was nice to know that we all have the common bond of wanting to spend time together in a foreign place just to help build a better place for those in need. I've been extremely lucky to bring a friend with me everytime since then to help me spread the word that OB is part of this incredible experience.
