But the real reward, she says, lies in the satisfaction that they have made such a huge difference in so many lives. I believe in creating Leaders not followers so that a leader c a n l e a r n g e t i n s p i re , motivated and replicate the same at other places. Alone Salma or alone Social Activist can't reach everywhere. Message for the Generation: The youth of today's generation has power , strength and good understanding to see the suffering , pains in real sense and help the needy in better way. Volunteering helps us to grow, develop groom oneself, self-realization, understanding of good and bad things and real meaning of life. Volunteering is not only important but also MAY 2017 essential to ll the gap that is been created between the poor and rich. Of course every drop counts when youngster like us contribute towards the welfare of the society. It not only helps for bringing the change that we want to see in the society but also it inspires others to follow the footsteps and become a leader to take initiatives. It's not about the change its about taking a stand for what you feel is right. Youth contribution is good and progressing every passing year as awareness has been created right from school days to corporates. It also depends on individual, mental strength and passion towards volunteering. I will only say one can't reach everywhere come join hands together and take a pledge to spread the goodness and happiness around unconditionally says Salma Memon.
