present the

long-term wing. Now they spend'
most of their time there.
"It's scary seeing new people,
but it's fine once you talk to
them," Murphy said. "But some-
times, it's hard to look at peo-
ple."
According to Sorkin, "They
discuss their fears openly, and
look at things for what they are."
Burstein, who's uncle passed
away after three weeks at Dan-
to, was nervous to return.
"Sarah was scared to come
back," Sorkin explained. "She'd
cry when she walked past his
room, but she's been fine since."
Murphy, yvho's not Jewish,
has no problems helping her
friend in a predominantly Jew-
ish nursing home.
"Sometimes people who aren't
Jewish might feel out,of place
and wouldn't want to help,"
Murphy said. "But it's a nice
thing to do and it doesn't both-
er me." ,
Bonnie Murphy, Cari's moth-
er, thinks that the two girls are
a couple of decades out of place.
"They have always been
champions of the underdog," she
said. "The are nurturing and
sensitive to the feelings of oth-
ers. They should have been
around in the '60s."
More importantly for Mrs.
Murphy, her daughter gets one-
on-one attention.
"She feels good for doing this,"
she said. "I love that they do it,
and love that they love doing it."
Andy Burstein, Sarah's mom,
acknowledges that it can be
tough for adults to walk through
Danto.
"It's tough to see some of the
real sick patients, but it doesn't
seem to bother them [the girls],"
she said. "People there are start-
ing to know them, and they all
say hi as they walk by."
The girls are now at Camp
Maas until mid-August, and
when they return, both plan on
volunteering more, according to
Mrs. Burstein.
"I'm sure Sarah would prefer
to go there after school every-
day, than take after-school rings-
es." ❑
