Volunteering for me is the most satisfying things we can do and experience. As an expat in Dubai, work – home routine is not an ideal for me to progress. It also need some activity that are rewarding and one of those is to volunteer. I did mentioned in my previous post that I started volunteering in the late year of 2014, this improved my social skills and I met and knew positive people. A lot of good things, experiences and friendships gain through volunteering and I am happy that I did it and counting.
Here are seven reasons why volunteering is rewarding:
“photo taken at Charity School in Sharjah initiative of Dubai Cares – Volunteer Emirates 2016.”
“cheering a family at Duathlon Race 2016 in Al Barsha UAE, with happy volunteers.”
“happiness you see in these great smiles of both volunteer and the person you helped with (distributing iftar meals in labor camps during Ramadan with happy Volunteers)”
“initiative of some volunteer friends lead by Moustafa Ebrahiem – collecting cigarette butts at Jumierah beach in Dubai. Giving awareness to smokers to throw their cigarette butts properly as well as to beach lovers. You can see more inspirations at fb page named: A Beach Cleanup Dubai – ABCD”
“new skills learned from Sew a Smile 2015 with great Volunteers. These finished stuff had given to special children that needed these the most.”
“lifting some goodies for children at the event of Walk for Autism 2016 (Zabeel Park UAE)”
“photo credit from a friend Eve Morales. This was taken at Sharjah animal shelter with pet lover volunteers.”
