Each country has many
kind people who volunteer to take care of others. For example, some high school and university
students, in the US often spend many hours as volunteers in the hospitals or
old people's homes. They read books for the people or they just visit them and
play games with them or listen to their problems.
Other young volunteers
go and work in the homes of the sick people. They clean up their houses or do
the shopping. For boys who don't have fathers there is an organization called
"Big Brothers". University students and other people take these boys
to play baseball games and help them get to know the things that boys usually learn
from their fathers.
Each city has a lot of
clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or take part in other
activities. Some of these clubs show movies or have short trips to the
mountains, the beaches or the museums. Most of these clubs use a lot of high
school and university students as volunteers, because they can understand the
problems of these boys and girls more easily.
Volunteers believe that
some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness
to others.
