Yesterday morning I was depressed to read that about more than 2000 children died of hunger in Karnataka but still we feel proud to be part of shining India. Who is responsible for it, Government or ignorant common mass?? By 2050 we expect to become the superpower country as major population is between the age group of 20-35. Even if we wash our hands of dirty politics, it’s important to do our bit to improve society. By God's grace we are fortunate enough to lead a contented life and now it’s time to give something back to society as a way of balancing the scales. You must be wondering that in today's busy world when you don't have time for yourself; it’s hard to find time for Society isn’t it??
Recently I have read one article mentioning 50% of Americans in some way or the other have volunteered and the number continues to increase. They volunteer because they love their country. Since the concept of Volunteering is not popular in India, I must explain what's exactly it is and how can it help our community. In simple terms it means offering services without any expectation or motivational gain. It not only gives you self satisfaction but a sense of pride and identity. There are many NGO's working for upliftment of society but at times due to lack of funding and manpower their projects get hampered. If we volunteer for two hours in a week, it will make a huge impact on society's development.
It is human nature to see the benefits first in everything we do. There are numerous benefits of Volunteering. Networking is critical for career development and dedicating your time as a volunteer helps you make new friends, expand your network and boost your career skills. Self confidence, self esteem and life satisfaction are key components of Volunteering. It too helps is spreading positive energy inside you. Apparently, volunteering on a CV will always look good to any prospective employer.

P.S-I am experiencing it and now it’s your turn.

I share your concern.We try our bit but the opposites are outnumbered.It doesn't deter us, but infuriates, why do we have to press so hard to get right things right?? At the end we have the consolation of at least doing our part.
