Changes and rewards of voluntary work.

Voluntary work the things we put our heart into without asking for reward is a priceless asset to any country. Most voluntary work is held in people's spare time. But sometimes a grave need in national and global affairs calls for unusual steps and people abandon paid work to make her perspectives possible. Religious bodies through the ages have been upheld by such risk-taking people with a sense of vocation. And the current programmes of moral-re-armament are sustained by a partnership between people in a wide variety of jobs and other who make themselves wholly available. Moral re-armament seeks to liberate the initiative, creativity and depth of relationships that could make the world work. It takes all one's skills, stretches one's abilities and show up one's mistakes, sometime painfully, sometimes hilariously. Yet, it is satisfying to try to alter the fundamental motives of society.

Voluntary activities range from boxes in the street to sitting as a Justice of the Peace, from improving wildlife habitat to manning telephone helplines for children or parents.

So what makes people volunteer?
For the first group of people volunteer is a process of putting something into the place where they are living. They can organize seminars on racial harassment, community relations and drugs; advice adults on issues such as housing and employment; help young people prepare CVs and application forms and advise them on interview techniques.

Others want to create a good environment for the teenagers in the most deprived area of the town.

Some people visits housebound people to give the main career a break. It's nice for them to know that they are bringing a little bit of happiness into someone's life and putting something back into the community. They get pleasure out of feeling that they are making life more pleasant for people.

Many voluntary organizations help people from Asia and Africa. It’s very useful help, because the conditions of life of these people are bad. The water is dirty they haven't enough crops and animals to eat. They need clothes, medical equipment and so on. So such kind of organizations helps people to survive and change the situation for future generation.

Many volunteers work with asylum seekers. But some of them say that it's not very pleasant work because if you're befriended someone and seen them every week it's depressing when the person is suddenly deported.

There is no doubting of the commitment of many volunteers, nor the value of much of their work. Yet, good will along is not enough for the work. One should avoid of thinking in the following way: “oh, I am just a volunteer and I’m not paid to do this, so I cannot be expected to do it well”. That is not so and mustn’t be so. So voluntary work is the matter of good will and faith heart and consciousness.
