More than 62.8 million people volunteer yearly. Haley Silva notes the joy of helping others. On October’s fourth Saturday the Ottawa High students joined 200 plus volunteers in the Make a Difference Day activities in the OHS Cyclone Room with snacks and prize drawings. Prizes included an Xbox 360 and a PlayStation 3. many students baked cookies, assisted at Hope House, and played games with CCF candidates. Some seniors and juniors reflected on the day’s impact and the challenge of coordinating events without key planners. Students described ongoing volunteering as a habit aimed at bettering the community through various tasks and collaborations.
