me; it&#8217;s a place where one can grow with the wisdom of God.<\/p><p>The first time I heard about it, I was inspired by its mission and the leaders who embody God&#8217;s teachings. Being a leader at the scout at that time, I have always enjoyed being around kids, so volunteering there felt like a blessing.<\/p><p>The environment is safe, and the people are smart, gentle, kind, and very generous.<\/p><p>Since Aina, one of my favorite mentors, introduced me to the school, I dreamed of being part of the team. In 2017, when Aina called me to join, I eagerly accepted. Before becoming a volunteer, I prayed for God&#8217;s guidance, and when the opportunity arose, I knew it was His will. So, I started volunteering from the beginning of the school year at that time and continued until 2020.<\/p><p>Volunteering at Tots Haven was a transformative experience. Besides academic learning, we delved into God&#8217;s teachings, which enriched my spiritual journey. I learned invaluable life skills and how to deal with challenges, which significantly changed my character for the better.<\/p><p>The inspiring leaders showed me the greatness of God through their lives. The time spent there holds a special place in my heart, and I deeply miss it. I also learned the importance of saying yes and no in life, and every moment there was an opportunity for personal growth.<\/p><p>Tots Haven brought me inner peace, and I continue to apply the lessons learned there in my daily life, especially at work and in the scout.
