Quite often, people ask me why volunteerism so important to me. In this world, we can feel surrounded by situations that we wish we could improve.
When we can take action to improve our surroundings, we feel empowered, and it gives us great pleasure to see happy faces because of our actions. NY de Volunteer is a place where I can do things that really matter and bring joy and education to others.
It is especially motivating to do this together with the other members who share the same passion and dedication. It is simply fun and rewarding. I will be delighted to share this experience with you!
