Rewarding Work
What has been the most rewarding thing about all of your volunteer work?
The most rewarding part of all my volunteer work is the change that I have seen in other people. My parents now sponsor three children of their own, and while I think it is important never to preach and impose your views on other people, it really is amazing how much can be achieved just with leading by example. Sometimes all it takes is to show someone that you can do something for them to realise that they can do it too. One member of my family is even talking about going on a volunteer placement next year, but he wants to work with animals instead. The most rewarding thing I have experienced is to learn that people really do want to help, and sometimes they just need someone to show them how.

Yes, the hardest thing is figuring out how to help. I too want to go on a volunteer mission this coming April; the problem is, I have no idea how to start! I don’t know how to find organizations who help organize, how to do fundraising to get me there, and so on!
Frustrating, but if I do manage to figure it out, hopefully it will be rewarding.
