Rewarding challenges!

During this last third term, we've been given some talks about voluntary work somehow to encourage us to participate and help as it's worth it.

Yesterday, members from different associations came to our class to talk about and explain what they do there and what their goals/aims are.

I particularly liked the one which works with homeless people: they aim is to talk with them, get in contact for them to see that they're not alone and that if they want, they can get out of that sad situation. However, that's not an easy task, and that's what the girl told us: it's really difficult to convince them to change their not-so-good habits and to get them believe that something can be done; therefore, the main purpose is to talk with them so that they can have a crying shoulder and some phsycological support.

I'd be scared to volunteer in a work of this kind but I consider it such an interesting, exciting and rewarding experience that of course, will have influence in the long-term.

I think we should pay more attention to these people as they're not invisible at all. She showed us a video that I've attached it below made by the New York Rescue Mission which is really moving.

LET'S RAISE AWARENESS OF THIS SAD 

SITUATION!
