We took a trip to the BooBoo Zoo, otherwise known as the East Maui Animal Refuge, the other day. The kids love to go there and it's a great way for me to introduce them into the spirit of volunteerism. More than once I've taken the kids here and whatever funk they are in is magically done away with once we arrive. Helping out has a way of doing that... caring for something or someone that can't do it on their own is a great way to renew the spirit.
We cleaned out a few cages, and fed the birds, but mostly played and watched. It's as if they know that they are giving to us as much as we give to them.
The animals are happy and well cared for, the people who work here are priceless, and I'm thankful that we this place that not only serves our community, but also opens our hearts each and every time we visit.
