The music you like. Your grandmother. Your favourite football team. That one teacher. The last series you watched. That one trip. Summertime. Your education...

The list of what makes us who we are is endless. But there's always room to help others: by devoting your time to those in need and immersing yourself in their stories, you can write an unforgettable new chapter in yours.

Find a story, start building yours and tell us about it. If you already have one, don't keep it to yourself.

* Don't worry. This is not a literary competition :)

El voluntariat a la Fundació Finestrelles va ser una experiència molt real. El costum ens fa definir com és "una persona normal", però conèixer gent amb diversitat funcional et fa mirar més enllà i veure que realment el concepte que tenim està equivocat i que, siguem com siguem, tots som únics i especials. Personalment, va ser un plaer compartir unes hores amb les persones usuaries de la Fundació Finestrelles i els dono les gràcies per l'amor que desprenen (abraçades, petons, rialles...) i perquè un cop allà, t'acullen com si fossis a casa. Espero que mai no deixin de donar tant de goig i desprendre tanta felicitat com ho fan.
