Name: Vienna

Position: Secretary
Background: I started volunteering in April 2010, not really sure of what career I wanted to pursue. After a long trip to India, I began to volunteer 4-5 times per week, and I also began shadowing Wayne for his private OT treatments. I now want to pursue a career in Occupational Therapy because of this wonderful program, and I am currently working as one of the office Secretaries. I hope to build all the skills necessary to one day be an OT and perhaps to open my own clinic as well.

Name: Jimmy

Position: Karate For All Instructor

Background: I started KFA in the Summer of 2009 as a volunteer. During my time as a volunteer, I learned so much about what this organization is about. I also learned how much fun it is to help kids learn karate. Although I am not pursuing Occupational Therapy, I see how beneficial it is for the children in the program.
