Why volunteer? Volunteering is a great way to get work experience! You learn new skills by trying new jobs. You might find something you'd like to do for a living, or discover what you would not want to do. Better yet, you can meet people who can give you guidance and possibly help you to find a paid job later on. Some volunteer opportunities involve travel across Canada or to other countries. Employers will be impressed that you took the initiative to learn new things. You can learn how a charitable organization works. Best of all, you will be taking action to promote what you think is important and probably be helping someone else along the way. Be the change that you seek! Who needs volunteers?

In 1928 Agnes left her family to become a nun. She chose a new name for herself – Teresa. In 1948 she and her pupils set up Missionaries of Charity. They worked at hospitals and schools, took care of children without parents and helped the sick and the dying. Mother Teresa never worried about the money. She always said that the help would come when it was needed. In 1979 Mother Teresa got the greatest prize in the world – the Nobel Peace Prize. Helen Keller. Before Helen Keller was even two she was blind and deaf. Life is not always easy. Sometimes it presents serious problems that make people sad and cause despair. At such times it might be good to think about the example of Helen Keller, born in America in 1880. She never gave in. Helen practiced speaking day after day until at last she developed a clear voice. Later she was able to speak before large crowds which came to hear her whenever she lectured. Helen did write “The Story of My Life” while she was in college. It was such a cheerful account of how this young girl was able to live a happy, useful life in spite of terrible difficulties. In her writings and lectures Helen Keller did everything possible to help and encourage those who were blind. The Charity Wristbands Trend. The Charity Wristbands Trend. The trend started with the popular yellow band which is inscribed with ,livestrong’ and was set up by American cyclist Lance Armstrong to raise awareness of cancer. One of the most popular wristbands in the UK is the white ,make poverty history’ band worn by UK celebrities like Bono, lead singer of U2 and Elton John. Premiership footballers Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand wear the black and white ,stand up speak up’ bands to combat racism. The pink breast cancer campaign bands have seen an increase in sales since Australian pop singer princess Kylie Minogue was diagnosed with and underwent surgery for breast cancer earlier this year. Fellow Australian Nicole Kidman has been spotted wearing one too. Chulpan Khamatova & Dina Korzun Fund “Give life”. «Не щади себя - подари жизнь» The charity fund “Give Life” was set up in 2006.
