  4. What I Have Done Children’s Advocacy Center • Helped out at their annual skeet shoot by pulling the clay pigeons. All of the proceeds go to the CAC since they are non-profit they relay on volunteers and fund-raisers like the shoot. • Shamrock- my sororities annual football tournament to raise money to prevent child abuse. We raised $20,000 this year. 80% of that stays in the community to help local cases and goes to the CAC.

  8. What I have Done Cont. • Valdosta-Lowndes Humane Society • I went to the animal shelter to help out with whatever they needed. I ended up getting to give the dogs and cats some good loving. I got to play with them in the yard and then give them baths.

  10. What It Meant to Me I enjoyed both of the groups I got to help this year through service learning. I got to work a lot with the Children’s Advocacy Center and recently I even got to take a tour of their facilities. It was so interesting to me the means they take to prevent child abuse; so interesting, that I am now considering one day working in the social work field so I can also help their great cause. The animal shelter was great because I absolutely love animals!
