Hello again from the Global Outreach Office!  Did you know that April is a really exciting month with lots of things to celebrate? It’s true! April is straw hat month, frog month, amateur radio month, cranberries and gooseberries month, brussels sprouts and cabbage month, and couple appreciation month, but our favorite thing about April is that it is volunteer appreciation month!

In honor of volunteer appreciation month, we wanted to take a moment to give a shout out to the over three hundred volunteers who have served with CURE over the last year.  CURE volunteers come from all over the world and help at our hospitals in a number of ways. We depend on volunteers to provide support to our staff and to minister to the children at our hospitals. Our volunteers give so much of themselves in offering their time and talents to our organization.  Many times, without the help of volunteers, we would not be able to offer quality care to our patients.

Although we can never truly express how thankful we are for our volunteers, we wanted to pay tribute to them by listing each person’s name who has volunteered between this April and last. So slip on your straw hat, go fetch your frog, rustle up your radio, cook up your cranberries, cabbage, gooseberries, and brussels sprouts, sit with your sweetie, and join us in thanking our volunteers by posting a note of gratitude of your own!
