Volunteering through my eyes ...

Volunteering, a word not often met in a small town such as where I live, but where there
is kindness, generosity and good will be incurred volunteering.
I experienced the first time in life this feeling in high school when my teacher involved
us those we showed interest in a voluntary action which involved cleaning the city and
environs. I remember that first day perefect now volunteering, I met many people and I
made friends. We were all different but we had a common goal, even though I knew that
there is no financial or other reward than helping nature of the area we live in and the
benefits that this can bring later.
That experience that I enjoyed a full adolescence I was inspired by then to participate and
even organize my self such action to improve the state of the environment and hence our
physical and mental health. Our school held annually in such action, and pupils from the
smallest to the largest are educated in this spirit to do good without expecting anything in
return, while helping nature we help ourselves.
