“I had a ball. It just tickles me to death about them is if one has a question, several hands shoot up it’s like popcorn popping up. But they all knew the questions to every question I asked. It gives you a sense of wellbeing to know that you submitted new material to them and they’ve absorbed it. I hope that they realize that no matter where they live in the community that there are people in the community that are willing to reach out and help them. And help them learn about different places and things. And learn that there’s differences all over the world, but we all care about each other.” – Pam Masdon

Occupation: Pam is a retired High School Teacher.

How she heard about volunteering? Pam received an email from one of the Volunteer Organizers at Alabama Power asking for volunteers to read for the third graders at Haleyville Elementary School. She immediately signed up because she thought it would be a nice change of pace from being high schoolers.

How many times? This is Pam’s second time reading to Haleyville students and each time she enjoys it more and more.

What book she’s reading? When Jesse Came Across The Sea.
