Commenting about her community service and responsibilities, she said, “I have been volunteering for my community since 16 years. Everyone in my community knows me and contacts me for advice whenever they need help, particularly women. They are often worried and confused about their personal health issues that they cannot talk about with their families or male doctors.” “I choose to work as a volunteer because I want to serve my community. It’s my deepest desire to give something back to people who need it more. I know I have a special place I my community. It gives me pleasure that I cannot buy with money.” happy, happiness, smiles, smiling
