I am Angela Pinkston. I am a One Brick Volunteer of the Chicago Chapter. From feeding the homeless to rebuilding homes in New Orleans, I have grown as an individual through One Brick. One Brick allows me to volunteer when I have time and to choose what issues I would like to devote my time towards. I volunteer with One Brick, so at the end of the day, my soul is enriched and my mind is peaceful. I enjoy the people I meet and even call them friends. The most memorable experience was one that was not my own, but one that I was privy to view. While, I was in New Orleans, I saw another volunteer who wasn't really gung-ho about getting dirty or waking up early. Kind of besides the point of coming to New Orleans, but in the matter of a week I saw her become the most hardworking and caring individual. It was night and day. It was beautiful. It was a volunteer in action. It was One Brick.
