Review for Global Links, Pittsburgh, PA, USA
I actually heard about Global Links years ago, but it wasn't until this past September that I finally got around to contacting them. Since then I've been volunteering 8-10 hours per month, on average, and I've come to look forward to the hours I get to spend working with them. They're wonderful people to work with, and they have great taste in music. Much more important, of course, is what they do. It's so clearly a benefit to everyone on the planet, from the hospital personnel and businesspeople who would rather not have to dump something still useful into a landfill, to the people like me who get to (carefully) handle fancy medical gadgetry we've not even imagined before, to those people whom I will never meet but whose lives I have in this way touched as a result of what the Global Links staff has made possible. It's like sending a post card to a friend you don't know. My thanks to Global Links, who have truly made this a better world.
