Volunteering To Those Who Are In Need

By Brian Wright


Volunteering for those in need can bring many benefits in ones life. Three are many ways of volunteering be it in service or in kind. This may include visiting the sick in hospital, volunteering in a children home, rehabilitating the drug users, teaching in a local primary school, paying an orphans fees. This are among many ways to volunteer.

People volunteer for many reasons though. Some of the reasons and benefits includesTo some people, it might be in one nature that they feel compelled to give back to the society. They feel a very urgent need to help some one or even spend their money and time helping someone not expecting any form of payment back. Some might see this as a weakness that one is prone to be taken advantage of in terms of people asking for help even when they do not need the help.

Some one was born to do it. This is a reason that those who are serial volunteers give. That they can not explain why they love volunteering but they believe they were born with the trait in them. They argue that since they were very young they did simple acts of giving like sharing a cookie, helping in cleaning, telling their friends sorry when they are hurt. This graduates to actions like volunteering in most services like cleaning the environment, first aid kit. They then found themselves in serious volunteering and even joined clubs like Red cross.

During the moth of fasting, the Muslims help a lot especially those who do not have food. They believe that the God would release blessings for them especially at the time they are fasting.

Hindus too have a very efficient way of helping the needy in the society where they almost share everything in the name of community. One cannot go hungry, lack school fees of medical care education or even love when in the community of Hindus. Some of these religious organizations also help to come up with the non governmental organizations that feed the children, give aid to the needy countries. Send volunteers to catastrophe stricken areas.

Some people do this for the sake of their own ego or satisfaction. Most of these people are those who are uber rich who give a lot of money to support charities which deal with helping the needy in the society. They do this in order to reach the self actualization as described by Maslow's hierarchy of needsMost of the people who entirely volunteer their resources to help the needy have either passed through a tough situation or have seen some one going through a tough experience. They volunteer in order to change the way things are and also aim at no on else suffering the way they did.

Past experience can also lead someone to volunteer. Some people say that they had been brought up in poverty so they felt the need to help people in the same situation as they were. A lot of women have gotten into volunteer programs because they were either abused or saw someone get abused in the past. Other people also volunteer because they feel that other people should not undergo the struggles they underwent.

Some people also volunteer because it is a prerequisite of joining either a club, an organization of even to get a college degree. Not all people volunteer voluntarily because they might volunteer to help the needy because they need to get a certain admission. Most of this people get to like the system of helping the needy and hence might even start volunteering in the end, which is a good trait to acquire
