Additional Information
In June 2023, I dedicated two weeks to volunteering with the recovery efforts at the RAF Croughton Childcare Development Center. The center had endured significant damage due to a storm flood. My role involved assisting in the preparation to reopen summer programs within two weeks in July 2023. Recovery efforts included cleaning all rooms, moving furniture, removing damaged and soiled items, and removing all trash from the building. My contributions helped to ensure the timely reopening of the childcare center, allowing the facility to provide uninterrupted services to its clients.
