vacations with a meaning, in fact Miss Kinney believed in weekends with a meaning. She volunteered to work as a nurse (she was also a registered nurse as well as a teacher) at a leper colony in Japan. She was a grande old dame, I must say. Glad to see tourism catching up with her noble standard of what to do when not working at a regular job. Zama American High School, Camp Zama Japan had some very fine teachers who did things like that. Most were single and devoted to mitzvohs.

as a person who spent a lifetime (almost) volunteering at various things, this sounds very interesting. Where do I sign up?
