A Call To Serve Deora was an individual who made a difference everywhere she went and she set an example all of us could learn from. She was described by her mother, Deborah Borza (VP of Project Team) as a “young, vibrant woman, fiercely independent, who loved her freedom”. Today, Deora continues to be an inspiration for myself and many Project Team volunteers. We honor her with any success that our program encounters. Project Team is here not only for the kids we work with, but also for the volunteers and the people who read about what we do. We can make ourselves as well as the world around us a better place through communication, tolerance, and teamwork. This is the message we send to the kids we work with and this is the message that we need to keep in mind in our own daily lives. We all have it in us to be the kind of person Deora was, but we get so caught up with things in life that do not matter as much in the end. Life can be tough, but we need to take a break to look at ourselves and the ways in which we live our lives. There’s a lot that we can do. Deora will be missed and never forgotten. I have felt called upon to serve and I consider this to be my life's work. I hope that I am able to continue the kind of work that Deora would be doing if she were still here today. Let’s remember to not take our time here for granted. Deora told us that “it’s not your past that matters, it’s what you are doing about it now”. So if you are reading this and you feel like you can do something to help positive change, let this be your call for a better future for yourself and a commitment to help those around you. Your call may not be to join Project Team, but any inspiration you can find, let it be used in the best way possible! Jason Woody |
