Meet the Volunteers: Sam Anderson

Meet one of our youngest volunteers: Sam Anderson, born and raised in Logan. 

Hello! I am Sam, a volunteer at Global Village Gifts. I just entered my senior year at Logan High School and was looking for some places to help out. I really wanted a good social experience and a way to build up my resume. Also, helping people is something that I love to do.

I chose Global Village Gifts because of its association with earthliness and culture. The items here are fantastic as well as the people who work here. Some of my hobbies and interests include classical guitar, Rubik's cubes, acting and swimming.

I really love the back stroke and have had some problems in the past, but I love the feel of the water. I am a veteran member of Logan Youth Shakespeare, a Shakespeare group for children ages 9-19. We just finished Richard II, a history play about the deposition of Richard to Henry Bolingbroke (Henry IV).


As far as Rubik's cubing goes, I have solved the Rubik's cube with a record time of 39.19 seconds. Considering the world record is now 5.55 seconds, it's not that great, but I'm pretty proud of myself.
I've been playing classical guitar for about 3 years now, but it's been on and off recently.

 My favorite song to play is Prelude in D (Bach Cello Suite no 1). I would recommend a listen. I hope to keep supporting Global Village Gifts and its endeavors, but meanwhile, keep up the great work everyone!
