Ora Rakestraw has been volunteering her time for nearly 30 years. 

Now 89, she has no plans of easing up. She was even recognized by Senior Corps as one of the top volunteers in the country.

She talked to Growing Bolder about her passion for reading to elementary school kids and how they’ve changed over the past three decades.
