BEING A VOLUNTEER
what is voluntary work?Volunteering is the practice of people working on behalf of others or a particular cause without payment for their time and services.
You need to be motivated and give one's time or energies to work towards a project or cause that you are interested in. |
why should people volunteer?Volunteering gives individuals the chance to explore avenues that would not usually be open to them.
This experience enables an exchange of cultural and social contact between volunteers. It enables people to learn new skills and to develop and gain practical experience in the field in, sometimes demanding conditions, and to develop leadership and teamwork skills. In addition, personal development which is difficult to evaluate, is one of the greatest benefits to working and travelling amongst people from different cultures. http://liveunited.org/take-action/benefits-of-volunteering |
