| From Leila Mulla |
What’s a good way to rub off your positive outlook in life on others? For Leila Mulla, positivity is best spread around by giving back to the community. New York Cares, a widely recognized non-profit organization for charity, stands to be Leila’s chosen venue for allowing her to do just that.
Leila believes that contributing to the welfare of other people who are in need will give volunteers a fulfilling sense of contentment. By volunteering, she can somehow share her optimism to the people who have been devastated by the harsh ordeals of life. She relates that volunteerism is “a way to get and keep people involved.”

New York Cares is Leila’s favorite organization because “you can handpick what you will actually be doing, and you can also pick out the days you will be doing it.” Leila Mulla likes it that you can arrange your schedule and choose which projects you intend to participate in. New York Cares’ programs fall along the lines of:
• Helping homeless kids get their first library cards.
• Tutoring children and adults.
• Playing sports with children who lack access to recreational facilities.
• Revitalizing parks, schools, and neighborhoods.
• Teaching financial literacy and job skills to low-income adults.
• Befriending lonely and isolated seniors.
• Preparing and serving meals to the hungry.
• Caring for abused and neglected animals.
