Volunteering your heart and mind!

Volunteering is such a widely used word but some people don't understand what it is. Volunteer means: someone who works for a community or for the benefit of environment primarily because they choose to do so. I don't think that anyone can do this, they have to want to to make a difference. I think the most respectable and upstanding people who volunteer a lot of time, effort and heart are Volunteer Firefighters. Volunteer Firefighters are people who are there for strangers in a time of need. Firefighters may or may not know their patients but they will do anything and everything to help the patient find a treatment for their illness or problem. I know you are sitting there thinking,firefighting is not strength of yours but it doesn't give you a reason not to volunteer your time and heart into something that you have compassion in.
