Volunteer, Be A Ragpicker
"Still we Ragpickers are very short-handed. There is also a population explosion on humanities junk piles, and not enough of us to do the job properly."
-Og Mandino (The Greatest Miracle in the World)
Anyone who has a heart to help, can be a Ragpicker. The only thing required...is you! Well, "portions of yourself," a portion of your time, a generous portion of your heart and a large portion of love.
The Five Expectations of Volunteer Work
As a Ragpicker you are expected to:
- Spend at least an hour per week Ragpicking.
- Read "The Greatest Miracle in the World" (Especially the God Memorandum).
- Wear the Ragpicker’s Amulet.
- Help us find others who are already Ragpickers, but don’t know it yet.
- Register as a Ragpicker.
Will You Be A Ragpicker?
When you become a Ragpicker, your field of labor will be, well - everywhere you go. Bloom wherever you are planted. Be aware of others who are placed in your path, they are there for a reason. You need each other.
