Prison

When you are the only person living in a house caring for someone with Alzheimer's it can be rather lonely and you do not have the contact with others to the same extent. Tomorrow I am starting a course to teach a prisoner literacy skills. I am a believer that people should give back, through voluntary work, to the community. I do some voluntary work with the Alzheimer's group but would rather do work in other areas as well. As my background is in teaching this work will fit in well. I am hoping that it is of benefit for the prisoner and of course it will also benefit me as I feel that I am doing something worthwhile for somebody else.
