The Purpose of the Volunteerism
Program is to allow individuals to get
involved, help others, develop skills, explore opportunities
and expand horizons.
"Volunteering is the most fundamental
act of citizenship and philanthropy in our society.
It is offering time, energy and skills of one's own
free will. It is an extension of beign a good neighbour,
transforming a collection of houses into a community,
as people become involved in the improvement of their
surroundings and choose to help others. By caring
and contributing to change, volunteers decrease suffering
and disparity, while they gain skills, self-esteem,
and change their lives. People work to improve the
lives of their neighbours and, in return, enhance
their own."
