Volunteer work among Vietnamese students
Hue, 17 years old: Being able to make a difference in the lives of people is a wonderful thing to me. That's why I take part in volunteer work. I've been a volunteer for over three years. Once or twice a week, usually on weekends, I teach English and Math to poor children in Long Bien district. My friends and I also encourage other people to donate books to them. We also tutor some young children who can't go to school.
Ngan, 13 years old: My family spends one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish or planting trees in our neighbourhood. We are not forced or paid to do it, but we enjoy it. In our village, most families volunteer to do this once a month. We cook and give food to patients in some hospitals. My parents also donate their blood once or twice a year to help sick people.

It has been a pleasure to do voluntary work as my hobby. Also, I find it easy to do. I decided to work with patients at home. They need to live normally again. They feel lonely and want to have a chat with someone. They also want to go out with someone, perhaps to do some shopping or just to get some fresh air. It has been great meeting new people in this way. However, it can be difficult to say goodbye to them when it all comes to an end.
I am glad to do voluntary work in this way, and there is something for everyone. I think more people of all ages should do voluntary work if they have free time. Younger people will find volunteering satisfying and fun.
