Volunteering To Those Peolpe Who Are Poor

By Brian Wright


Volunteering for those in need can bring many benefits in ones life. Three are many ways of volunteering be it in service or in kind. This may include visiting the sick in hospital, volunteering in a children home, rehabilitating the drug users, teaching in a local primary school, paying an orphans fees. This are among many ways to volunteer.

There are many and different reasons why people believe that volunteering is good and beneficial. Some of them are.

Some of the volunteers say that it is calling form God. Many of the religious groups have this as their system or even pillars of helping.

It is in one of the Islamic pillar that they should help the needy in society and treat them with respect.

Some religions also very keen in giving. In fact most schools for the needy. The physically handicapped, the orphaned, those stricken by natural disasters are formed by the religious organizations. How they raise money to sustain these is by sponsors who are members of these organizations who donate money and food to them. Most religious books also talk widely and emphasizes mostly on helping the poor and the needy in the society. All religions believe that there is some form of blessings attached in giving, helping and volunteering to the less fortunate in the society.

Self actualization is the highest form of need that one can satisfy. It is believed that self actualization is attained when one does something that does not necessarily translate to money but something that satisfies ones soul. Some people help those in need in order to reach a state of self realization and self actualization as a form of therapy and a way of healingWhen people go through a very tough experience or even witness someone going through the same, they might change and see the needy in a different way. Some people believe that going through a tough experience in order for nature to teach them how to treat the less fortunate in the society.

Past experience can also lead someone to volunteer. Some people say that they had been brought up in poverty so they felt the need to help people in the same situation as they were. A lot of women have gotten into volunteer programs because they were either abused or saw someone get abused in the past. Other people also volunteer because they feel that other people should not undergo the struggles they underwent.

Volunteering and giving to the needy in society should be encouraged from a very young age. This is because it has very valuable lessons for being selfless and not thinking about oneself only.
