A: By
doing volunteer, we can get experiences and skills from the activity we
involve in. We become more outgoing by showing our talent and ability in every activity. ¡@ Our ability to communicate with people of different social backgrounds is also improved due to working with them. The relationship in family becomes warm and stable since parents and children have more time together. Most importantly, volunteerism also expands our vision. It lets us know more about this world. |
