VALUES AND IMPACT OF VOLUNTEERISM

A wise man, Saint Basil, A tree is known by its fruit; a man by his deeds. A good deed is never lost; he who sows courtesy reaps friendship, and he who plants kindness gathers love.

Being able to have the ability to help others be it physically or mentally is a blessing not only to others but also to oneself. Every experiences that we have gone through helps us to learn something new which allows us to become a better person. Values are the best treasures that we can attain but at the same time it is the hardest to achieve. One of the greatest value of all is kindness. Therefore, we should continue to influence others to be kind and help one another if possible. 

Nowadays, kids around the world have been abandoned by their parents due to various reasons. For example, parents did not have enough money to raise their kids up. This turns have become a serious social issue. In order to allow the orphans to understand that there are still many people out there who love and care about them, orphanages have been build. This helps in making the lives of the orphans better as they receive proper teachings and also a place for them to live in. As the number of orphans has increase over the years, the lesser the manpower. Therefore, volunteers are needed.

Thank God for volunteerism ! The results of Volunteerism shows a lot of positive impacts on the society . For example, it raise awareness of reaching out a helping hands for the needy. People tend to understand more about how we should treat the orphans to make them feel welcome and loved. Moreover, when orphans feel that they are important to the society which develop a sense of belonging, they will feel hopeful in staying alive. They will be able to overcome all those negativities that are within them with the positivities and love that people had planted into them.

As for the volunteers, they themselves have achieve lots of experiences which will be able to help them in dealing future problems. For example, they will be able to encourage others when they are feeling down. Not only that, they will feel a sense of  achievements that they have help people to walk out of their darkest period, motivate them to do even more of this kind of social works. They will be able to improve as a person. Maybe in this case, which is knowing that having parents with us is really a blessing and that we must be contented. We ought to remember that they are the ones who raise us up and we should be respecting them not talk back when they scold and nag us. They are the ones who are always here for us no matter how screwed up we can be.

All in all, I just want to share a quote by Oprah Winfrey, it says " Be thankful for what you have. you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough."
