Yes, I remember when I moved to my current city... I felt lonely too, not knowing anybody. I got out into the community too, and formed some very close friendships over time, gradually. Now, I'm very happy and couldn't imagine being anywhere else, largely in part to the terrific people I met along the way. I know it's hard at first, when you're just starting to get your footing.

I think it's very wonderful you're volunteering! I hope everything works out for you
