2. If you want to appeal for more and more people to join in volunteering, how would you do it?
Very often you can u the excu "I’m an significant person and can’t make a difference", but it is no longer valid. Volunteering is __a great way to get out there to do something good in today’s world__. Instead of sitting on the couch watching the World Vision ads, you can dedicate your time, whether _it’s a year, a month, a day__ or __just a couple of hours__. Every bit of help can make a difference to the lives of tho who are less fortunate, or _an environment which is clo to destruction_, or __an animal that faces the threat of extinction__. Whatever cau gets your blood going, there is a way you can volunteer to help.
With so many different charities out there today, you can dedicate your time to your cau
of choice. For some people this might mean __signing up for a year to help loved ones get reunited in war-torn countries__, for others it might be __using their IT skills to help a charity online maintain awareness through the Internet__, and for others still it might be _just lling chocolates to neighbours to rai money for your local hospital_. Volunteering is about dedicating your time to a non-profit organization to directly make for a better world, not to mention all the benefits you will get from it, _like the n of satisfaction in knowing you’ve helped or the chance to learn a new skill or bee more confident_.
Volunteering is not just about__helping others__, it can also be __a way to help yourlf develop as a person__.
