Many schools already have volunteering programs where students either during or after school, donate their time to a service project. With service learning educators find ways to take what students are learning in the classroom and apply it directly to what is needed in our community. For example: students learning English can volunteer to be translators at a hospital and students in an art class can teach art to the developmentally disabled. As we can all see there are no special requirements for becoming a volunteer. All you need is the desire to help the others and the strength to carry on. But deep inside ourselves we keep asking the same old question: “How does volunteering helps the world?” We send packages with food, clothes and toys to children all over the world, we give companionship to the old and lonely people, we find settlements for refuges, orphans, wanderers…and still there isn’t any big difference.
