Service Project Adelaide Hils

I am seriously impressed with DRA and I loved my first deployment. We made such an impact to community resident Janet. We made her cry in a way that “I haven’t cried in over 11 years.” I can’t wait for my next deployment

After retiring, I wanted to volunteer my time and skills to help others. My first deployment was to the Adelaide Hills. Everything was run like a well-oiled machine (or chainsaw!). I was able to assist in cleaning up at two properties devastated by last year’s fires. I expected to work hard, and it was tough going. But it was nothing compared to how tough and resilient the property owners are. I feel privileged to have made a difference.
