Almost two years ago, I relocated back to the United States after having lived abroad in Germany for over a decade. It took some time to readjust but I have been yearning to get back to reaching outside of my own little world to be of service to my community. This year I will be increasingly active in different volunteer projects through the AmeriCorps program which has been likened to the domestic U.S. version of the Peace Corp. http://www.americorps.gov/
I will be working chiefly with three organizations:
Covenant Hospice
http://www.covenanthospice.org/
Alzheimer’s Family Servies AFS
EscaRosa Coalition on the Homeless ECOH
https://ecoh.communityos.org/cms/
As thanatology is a special interest of mine, I will be doing a separate blog for hospice work and thanatological study. Journals for the ALS and ECOH will be found here. I am looking forward to a fruitful new year.
