  • Description

    Greetings beautiful people,

    This missive comes from the sunny coast of Portugal where I currently reside. I retired early and quickly decided that retirement is not for me. So what's next? Hopefully, volunteering with you.

    What I can contribute:
    1. Cooking for the masses, where's my apron?
    2. These hands were meant for cleaning so give me a broom and mop.
    3. Practicing English, let's talk.
    4. Feeling unraveled, I can teach sewing.
    5. Got to move your body, let's dance, walk, exercise or play soccer.
    6. Need a hug? I'm very experienced.
    7. Mental math is my thing. I'd like to assist in math classes and games.
    8. Anything else that is needed, you can count on me.

    I am a fit, healthy, energetic, open minded , happy lover of life. My good attitude has carried me through many of life's challenges. I embrace hard work and being part of a team. I am willing to do whatever job needs to be done.

    In the last ten years I have volunteered with Habitat for Humanity in Nepal, El Salvador, Fiji, and Costa Rica. I also was a finance director for an orphanage in Haiti and ran a soup kitchen in Colorado.

    I eagerly await your response. Let's do something amazing together.
