Those dedicating their lives to helping those in need through volunteerism & humanitarian work. Mummy, Mom, my Gran-Gran, strong women in my life!"Religion without humanity is poor human stuff." -Sojourner Truth"People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.""I was born with an enormous need for affection, and a terrible need to give it." -Audrey Hepburn"There is much suffering in the world - physical, material, mental. The suffering of some can be blamed on the greed of others. The material and physical suffering is suffering from hunger, from homelessness, from all kinds of diseases. But the greatest suffering is being lonely, feeling unloved, having no one. I have come more and more to realize that it is being unwanted that is the worst disease that any human being can ever experience." -Mother Theresa
