Volunteering For Humanity

To Volunteer means to freely undertake a task or enterprise. To offer oneself for a cause and the good of the community. To volunteer can also mean acting on behalf of something or someone else. It is usually done without pay and is geared towards creating a positive change in society or providing help to someone that needs it.

Volunteering requires one to forgo many things in order to be available. America’s 28th President Woodrow Wilson could not have put it any better, “There is no higher religion than human service. To work for the common good is the greatest creed”.

The idea of giving oneself for the benefit of others has been around for a long time in Africa and it is not a new concept. Africa culture and traditions encourage collective responsibility, solidarity and reciprocity. We express our individual humanity through our social relationships with others.

When we volunteer, we work side by side with others to achieve a common goal/objective. We can make connections with the community we find ourselves in and we can also get connected to the process involved in solving a problem.

Regardless of how busy our schedule is, we must make out time to volunteer for an humanity-based organization in our community. Think about what you would like to do for your community. Ponder on these things in your heart and you will surely see the one that will make sense or appeal to you.

Volunteering gives you a sense of purpose. The sense of fulfillment when you give back and contribute back to society is unparalleled.

Dedicating your time to help others will teach you resilience, patience and kindness. You will also improve your communication abilities and ability to work alongside a diverse team of people.

Volunteering can provide a great career experience and you can also acquire valuable skills that will be important in your career advancement. You also learn about other people’s stories and try to draw inspiration and lessons from them.

There are so many important causes out there that need volunteers to complement their efforts.

Acts like advocacy for human rights abuse victims, donating your time are numerous ways you can volunteer.

At Grameframe, we encourage people to be part of charity work on the field.
