Understanding Volunteerism ...

 

Volunteering means to carry out a duty or a job without expecting repayment or remuneration. It is an action worth to be lived by. Though time writers associate volunteerism with charity, both may have  an intense meaning when deeply fathomed. CHARITY is a value while VOLUNTEERISM is an action.

In every way in our lives, through people from different walks of life, it is always a norm when someone is in need and when someone needs help. That will then be the time where the act of volunteerism gets in. Being kind and generous to others and putting it into actions is a virtue.

 

Volunteerism can come in many faces. It could be you helping the community through building something important that would be beneficial to the society, it could be seeing yourself teaching other people, it could be you feeding the hungry or it could be you giving your time and skills to others. 

 

Furthermore, volunteerism is a two way street.  It could be beneficial to both parties involved. When someone donates a handful of time, the difference made is tremendous and it shapes a community for the better while the experience improves the person who donated the time. The volunteer then can strengthen his/her present skills such as communication skills, ability to work with other people, dedication, testing one's patience and time management.

 

Volunteering is what makes a community because it brings people together to work on a goal.
