A Better World volunteers rack up 59,000 hours of service
A Better World Canada, which is based in Lacombe, has released its first ever detailed health report.
It concludes that in the organization’s 29-year history, health care volunteers have recorded 59,450 hours of work.
Eric Rajah, co-founder, says the whopping numbers are amazing to see on paper.
“People are giving up their holidays and doctors when they leave home, they also lose their income,” says Rajah. “Everyone pays for their own trip too, so they are being doubly hit in their pocketbook. All of these things are appreciated and valued by A Better World.”
