A fascinating ten-year-old, Amanda volunteers in The Pavilion (Shell Point’s skilled nursing facility) every Friday morning. She assists the Activities staff with exercise class and arts and crafts, reads to and visits with the residents and helps transport them to and from events.

Amanda is home schooled by her mother, Clare, who stated, “I felt character and life skills were as important as academic skills, so I was looking into community service to be a part of Amanda’s life. I thought this would develop a servant’s heart in her, but on the first day, I realized that God had already given her a servant’s heart.”
