“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time;
they just have the heart.” - Elizabeth Andrew
Volunteering is one of the most effective
ways to gain meaningful, hands-on experience in the social work field.Life’s
most persistent and urgent question is, “What are you doing for others?” Last
month, I started working as an online volunteer for HEEALS.I have realized that it has enormous benefits. Volunteering helps
bring a difference as it feels good to help other people and enact changeand give
back to the community. Volunteering helps us make friends, learn new skills,
advance our career, and even feel happier and healthier.The unselfish effort to
bring cheer to others is the beginning of a happier life for ourselves.
Benefits of volunteering:
·
Volunteering connects you to others and
helps to gain new insights.
·
Volunteering is good for your mind and
body
·
Volunteering can advance your career
·
Volunteering brings a sense of accomplishment
to your life
Internship:
Experience as an intern is an incredible
way to discover India and to work for an NGO. As an intern you will be treated
as an employee so it could be the way for you to have a job experience abroad
and to practice the skills you’ve learnt in your studies.
Online Volunteering:
As an online volunteer with us, you could
do a variety of things in the comfort of your home or office.
Volunteers:
HEEALS is a growing organization which
offers volunteers the unique ability & mechanism to have a truly
significant role in organizational and program development.
During a volunteer program, you become
deeply involved with local community, immersed in a new culture and a different
way of life.
Gap Year:
During your Gap year volunteering with
HEEALS allows you to do something a bit more constructive with your time. This
will hone your skills, help you learn a language, immerse in another culture,
build long lasting bonds, and provide vital services to a local community. Your
gap year is a chance, where you can utilize your existing
skills in excellent practice.
I would like to end this with the words of
Mahatma Gandhi - “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the
service of others.”
