	Faces of Virginians The Lessons of Volunteerism: Giving is Receiving by Shay Seaborne In my family, there is no clear distinction between volunteering and living; we work to help others, and for good causes, simply because we are able. As Caitlín and Laurel grew, we began volunteering to monitor a bluebird trail. Over the past six years we have seen dozens of bluebird pairs successfully raise and fledge over 200 nestlings. Our trail's role in the increase of the local bluebird population led to the addition of bluebird interpretation at the site. Find out how Caitlín and Laurel consider assisting others as a normal, natural part of living and perhaps how this can become a part of your life.
