My name is Tiffany Braswell.  I am a student at ECU.  For the fall of 2005 my health professor, Professor Elmore, had his health class participate in service learning.  I did my service learning at Operation Sunshine.

Operation Sunshine is a center for at risk, young ladies, ages 6-13, to go after school.  The program allows the girls to do their homework with the help of volunteers, have a snack, and play.  Operation Sunshine is located on Chestnut Street, at the corner of Chestnut and Raleigh Street.  The hours are from 3-6, Monday through Friday.

My experience at Operation Sunshine was amazing.  I had fun, and had an opportunity to help make a difference in these girls’ lives.   The girls are all bright and funny.  They are friendly and they will be successful in life partly because of this program.  I can see the girls growing everyday, and I know they look up to me.  There is a need for more volunteers though.  These girls need someone that is willing to work with them and help them.  They need someone that can be a positive role model.  They need you.
