At Stonewall Farm again

Giving back to the community is a big part of Green Keene Teens and what we stand for. We are regularly volunteering at Stonewall Farm in Keene. Each of our volunteers usually spends about two hours working.

Last Saturday, May 9th, Alishia, Lily, Carolynn and I went to volunteer at Stonewall farm. This was our second (non-event) volunteering as Green Keene Teens. We prepared the garden for Stonewall’s art auction that evening, raked, and stacked wood.

The first Saturday Green Keene Teens volunteered was April 11th. The three girls that joined me on that day were Olivia, Jackie, and Laura. On that occasion we raked huge piles of leaves and brought them to the compost.

By volunteering we not only want to benefit ourselves but also help others. We give back for what we take. Helping others is not only good karma but it is good way to connect with the people who give and receive the help.
