Volunteer Voices

In Belfast, I worked in the community house of Ballynafeigh Community Development Association. The volunteers worked with Catholic and Protestant children together in their summer playscheme - the scenario being a lesson in the possibility of peace in the region. I was constantly learning of the cultural richness of Belfast and the surrounding counties of Northern Ireland. One of the most memorable experiences of my whole summer was the visit to my Irish family that had not been in contact with my family in the US for over 20 years."
