Tikkun Olam Journal

Entry Number One

Date: Monday May 5, 2008
Time: 3:45 PM to 5:00 (1 hour 15 mins.)
What Was Done:
Today I volunteered for the first time at The Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. After school I went to the JCC with Marc Kalvari because I had a bar mitzvah class at 5:30. Although Marc is not my partner for this project I took this as an opportunity to get some hours in with him. We went down to the centre and we were guided to the library where we quickly got started sorting books so it would be easier for people to find them. Then Frieda came in and told us there was a more important job to be done so we started putting stickers with addresses on envelopes. It was very enjoyable because while we put on the stickers Marc and I got to talk. The time just flew by and it became 5:00 (Closing Time at VHEC). Marc and I left knowing we contributed to Tikkun Olam
