Once I had asked her, don't you find these small children naughty. Dancy had replied firstly, children are not naughty and secondly, I like to stay busy with them. Over the years, I have seen Dancy volunteer in Church, Sports events, food fests, Soup Kitchen, social causes and other events. Dancy, never expects any returns when she volunteers and it just makes you happy, is what I have seen. You have made volunteering a fun yet a serious part of your life.
