Is there real goodness in the world? Is altruism alive and well? A book on Human Service Alliance invites us to take a closer look at these and other questions. The book, "Better Than Money Can Buy: The NEW Volunteers," leaves little doubt and offers an antidote to the cynicism of our times. Human Service Alliance (HSA) volunteers have been described as "angels" and HSA has been called "the next best thing to heaven," yet it is the true story of a group of ordinary people who perform extraordinary, selfless deeds in daily service to others. Hundreds of volunteers at this unique Winston-Salem organization care for adults who are dying, children with developmental disabilities, and people who suffer from chronic pain. The organization and its efforts have been described as being similar to the work of Mother Teresa, with an American, nondenominational approach. Human Service Alliance is attracting world-wide attention and its success serves as inspiration and a model for others seeking to start an all-volunteer service organization. People travel from all over the world at their own expense to serve 50-60 hours a week, receiving room and board but no stipend. Why do they do it? Can only a few special people be a part of this? What is the motivation? Stories and commentaries in the book reveal magical transformations which happen among the servers and those served. Many find that they come to volunteer, and in that process discover a profound sense of purpose that gives their lives new meaning. This book is their story, and it can be yours; it is for anyone open to having their heart touched by inspiration, love, and goodwill."--Amazon.com. 001380462 61020 $$aHuman Service Alliance. 001380462 61027 $$aHuman Service Alliance.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00710627 001380462 650_0 $$aVoluntarism$$zUnited States$$vCase studies. 001380462 650_0 $$aVolunteer workers in community health$$zUnited States. 001380462 650_0 $$aHelping behavior$$vCase studies. 001380462 650_0 $$aVolunteers$$zUnited States. 001380462 650_7 $$aHelping behavior.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00954850 001380462 650_7 $$aVoluntarism.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01168976 001380462 650_7 $$aVolunteers.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01169120 001380462 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001380462 655_7 $$aCase studies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01423765 001380462 655_7 $$aCase studies.$$2lcgft 001380462 7001_ $$aKilpatrick, Joseph E.,$$d1948- 001380462 7001_ $$aDanziger, Sanford,$$d1939- 001380462 852__ $$bgen 001380462 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1380462$$pGLOBAL_SET 001380462 980__ $$aBIB 001380462 980__ $$aBOOK
