Community Service and You, Friday, Period 2, An Orphanage on the Mainland
"Before we get started, I wanted to remind everyone that our final workshop will be a small gala brunch vent for charity," Bruce said. "So, make sure to dress nicely and be ready to try to talk rich people from out of town into donating as much as they're willing to give to good causes."
"But in the meantime, we're doing something near and dear to my heart today," Bruce said, shifting gears. "My parents were killed when I was eight years old. I was incredibly well off due to my parents' fortune and our butler, Alfred, raised me the way my father would have wanted. But even though I was the most fortunate orphan you could imagine, I still know what it was like to lose the most important people in the world to you at such a young age. Because of that, I make sure to give both time and money to orphanages regularly."
"Today, all I'm asking for is your time. Spend the class period hanging out with some kids. It helps if you go in with a specific activity in mind, but remember, it's about them. If they don't want to do anything on the playground, if they just want to read? Adjust your plans. Good luck."
