“Caregiving not only fulfills the needs of another human being but

also oneself; as we empty ourselves into others, we are truly full. I

feel so blessed and honored to be part of the Pope Fellowship. Here,

I will be surrounded by like-minded individuals who will also strive for

success in caregiving. I feel that we will be the caregivers of

tomorrow that will make a difference in the world”
