Volunteer Spotlight: Donna Anderson
Donna
Anderson started volunteering for the WOW! program at Wilson Elementary
in February of 2006. She enjoys spending an afternoon each week with
the 3rd, 4th and 5th grade girls, assisting with homework and sharing
her love of sports and fitness with the girls. She has been able to
integrate her passion for yoga into her volunteer work, and she comments
that she is “really enjoying the challenge of transitioning from
avid student to being a teacher, giving the girls a good introduction
to yoga”. She hopes to solicit donated yoga supplies to allow
more girls to participate next school year. Lisa Lee, WOW! Program Coordinator
at Wilson Elementary, states that “Donna is a fantastic volunteer.
The girls in WOW! always look forward to seeing her each week, and they
truly appreciate how she has opened their eyes and hearts to the world
of yoga.” Caring adult volunteers such as Donna inspire girls
to experience new things at Girls Inc. every week.
