Over the last 40 years her heart and volunteer time has been spent benefiting children and the elderly in various community and religious organizations.

She served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate in Louisville, KY for 5 years where she was nominated as Volunteer of the Year. Linda served on the board of the Assistance League of Huntington Beach as Vice President, growing and overseeing ten philanthropic programs benefiting children and the community.

One of the desires of Linda’s heart was fulfilled when she was able to serve children and the elderly internationally. She has participated or led medical or global outreach trips to Cuba, South Africa and now Vietnam and Cambodia.

God told Linda she would be going to Vietnam three years prior to her being introduced to the Kalatschan’s. After meeting Robert and Dorothea and spending time in Vietnam getting a wonderful overview of all the programs of Giving It Back To Kids, it was clear to her that this is where God would have her put all her volunteer efforts.
