VOLUNTEERISM

What is volunteerism? The dictionary defined volunteerism as the policy or practice of volunteering ones time or talents for charitable, educational or other worthwhile activities especially in ones community. I can say that volunteerism is the act of rendering a quality service to the community especially those who are in need. Giving yourself to the community or serving the society with a good heart is the real essence of being a volunteer. Its not how much time or whatever it is that you give them but rather being compassionate with what you are doing without asking anything in return. It is a social responsibility rather than for any financial reward. Volunteerism is something you do for the betterment of someone less fortunate than yourself. Its for the priceless experience of lighting up someone elses life. Its not meant to be for or about you. Its to give back to the community. A noble thing for the greater good. Seeing people wearing a smile and tearing running down their face is more than enough as a reward to us volunteers. Not only it gives you a satisfaction and contentment, it makes you to be a better citizen. We are all volunteers in our own little ways. In fact, you are never too young or old to volunteer to be a volunteer. You dont need any qualifications to be one. All you need is a willingness to help and a little of your time.
