Volunteering

I think it's awesome volunteering your time like that.

 

Volunteering is the right choice because you do it for others. I used to volunteer in an educational project where we tried to help poor children and orphans in their studies. It helps you to learn self humility.

 

I recently went to Missions Store to volunteer there, a thrift store that maintains 2 homeless shelters, 1 addiction help centre, and donates about half its stock to those in need. I figure getting out of the house, being around people, is a good idea. Focusing on something else that's completely separate from you helps give you perspective.

 

I am looking to get into volunteering. I think I want to help out at the mental health clinic.
Thanks for sharing!

 

I thought about volunteering at an animal shelter. I use to volunteer for the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization for about 5-6 years until I lost contact with my little bro. I really enjoyed doing things with my little bro. It help me think outside myself and think about another person.

 

I am so glad you posted this! I have actually just signed up as a volunteer tutor at a local high school! I will let you know how it goes.

 

It's a great idea to be a volunteer.
5 years ago I was a volunteer as a concierge and maintainer of the computer network on a primary school.
It was a great time actually.

Since I started my new job 2 months ago, I felt lots of stress and minor satisfaction.
I am thinking about doing voluntary work for homeless people. In the past I always met such people or they reaches to me.
My heart is always braking when seeing these people, knowing: it could be me.

Good on you! Keep making a positive impact on people in your community!

 

I've never done much volunteering out in the "real world", it's something I'd like to do. Where I have, in a sense, volunteered is on the internet. Finding the place and making the time I find is the hard part.
