What drew Rachel to serve on the Governor Morehead Foundation was attending a holiday school fundraising event and watching the visually impaired students light up when they held their band instruments to play live music to the audience and witnessing the pure bliss across each of the band children’s faces. Helen Keller said, ‘The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched, they must be felt with the heart.” Rachel recalls “I felt it at that moment with tears in my eyes and knew I wanted to be part of something great in our Raleigh community and in our lovely state”.
“Everybody can be great. Because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and your verb agree to serve. You don’t have to know the second theory of thermodynamics in physics to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” -Martin Luther King Jr
