(S28) PT 5 - Helping Out

[Jo3fish5]

As a frog, and as someone who is one with nature, one of Berlin Fire Salamanders running back Joseph Petrongolo’s favorite ways to give back to the community is by planting trees across the city of Berlin. It must be said that Petrongolo does this because he enjoys breathing oxygen, and definitely not because the fire salamander is the number one leading cause of fires in Germany. Even if that was why, Joseph is still doing a good thing by providing more oxygen to the country. While he and his teammates love spreading knowledge about the wonders of trees and teaching fire prevention FOR THINGS LIKE OVENS AND CAMPFIRES, NOT FIRE SALAMANDERS, they also enjoy volunteering at athletic centers across the city of Berlin. Joseph Petrongolo feels that it is especially important that the children of today get enough physical activity. There is a slight language barrier because Petrongolo hasn’t learned all that much German yet, but many of the children speak English and they help him out too. While not planting trees or learning German from the children, Petrongolo also volunteers at a fire house just outside of Berlin, again not because his coaches made all the players do it to spread awareness of fires caused by fire salamanders, but because he genuinely loves giving back to the community.
