Why do or don't ppl volunteer and why?

I used to volunteer at a nursing home when i was younger. It was more of a companionship for the older people. I would talk to them, play the piano, one became my pen- pal and I've learned alot from her, take them to the cafeteria for icecrem,. Why did i do it? It felt good knowing that every time i went there i put a smile on someones face. I brightend someones day, who didn't have any family. So for me i volunteer for things that make me feel good inside, other might have to do it cuz they got in some kind of trouble, some do it for school. But my reason is from the heart....

its good to volunteer but remember these drugs haven't been approved yet-human testing required to put on market for general public so  ask about side effects -if any known-some have been tested by humans to  some extent and need final human testing or only tested on animals----so all these drugs are being tested to see if safe to use.All drugs have side effects but human testing determines if  no drastic side effects occur-esp be wary and ask if can damage liver, kidneys etc.  Make sure you really want to do this and that once the inform you of the risk involved if money is worth it.It isn't a whole lot of money in most cases anyway.

I really don't know. I feel we do have an obligation to help our fellow man and woman. However, I am not blind to the problems that some have created. After all, I live near Reliant Stadium and met some very nice people but I also saw some trashing the parking lot near Fiesta and criticizing the efforts of citizens to help them (It wasn't enough or what they wanted). One night I wanted a sandwich from Subway and had to wait to be let in. They let me in when I told them I wanted to buy a sandwich. I also know people who work at the hotels and some of the evacuees tested their nerves. I guess what I want to say is let's help those who want to help themselves start over but the hand outs have to stop. My late father always said "If you give a man a fish, He'll eat that day but if you teach a man to fish, He'll eat for a lifetime."

Yes, I always try and help a lady in need. I have my interest in my lady only, so I am not looking at anything other than being a better person and helping someone. I also help guys in need as I do not believe that gender should be a deciding factor in who needs help and who don't.

No...I respond to help people out. I also ask the maximun questions each day. So if I were in it for just the points I would ask questions, cause they give you -2. :-)

I like the way you think. Personally I give back one person at a time. Sometimes in groups it depends on where I am and what is needed by each individual.  Just people in general, I don't really have to know them, just what they might need. Sometimes a wise conversation, or a friendly gesture. Just Because. Those who know me, know that children are my Purpose( A better way to see the world)!  Remember when Good Deeds are done, someone is doing something GREAT!

A volunteer is a person who serves in a community primarily because he chooses to do so. If you have to do it, it's not voluntary!

It all depends on how old you are, what you are interested in doing, if you are in Arkansas and wish to travel abroad.... It all depends. I love to volenteer and do it quite often. Also there are different ways of volunteering. For instance you could donate money, crochet/knit items for through micheals craft stores, gather friends and family and plan an area to pick up trash. Sometimes you could even walk into businesses (hospitals) and say I'm here to help. Of course most places you go will require some paperwork saying that you are responsible for yourself and yadda yadda yadda. Its getting colder and shelters will be needing blankets and volunteers to serve meals.  Those are some ideas but here are some actual site you could search. Good luck!

I'm not the type to confront ppl. So I tend to let those Dopey Big-Headed ppl get to me. I often bottle up my emotions and take it out on others. It's not right, I wish I was the type of person to put dopey big-headed ppl in their place and make them have a small head. thank you.

Volunteers are hard to find because they do it for free, and most GOOD marketers are to busy to offer their time for free. Check out some of the freelance sites online like freelancebbs.com or freelancebank.com etc.  You may find one or two people who will at least point you in the right direction for free.

I always donate something even if I don't have much to the bell ringer. I think it takes alot of guts to walk by those volunteers and not even so much as say "Merry Christmas". I always pack my girls some change in their purse (they are 5 & 7) and they always put something in. Merry Christmas to you and thank you for donating your time!

only to those who really absolutely need eg children. as for the others eg homless ppl and so on they are old enough to do something abt their situation if they really wanted to do so. there are loads of organisations that are there to help these ppl. as for third world victims, sure i donate wat i can which isnt a lot and i would never give too much pure and simply because it is not their fault they are in most situations it is there governments or even ours. the more we give these ppl the less chance there is of them becoming independent again and their governments doing the right things for their own ppl.

I am a volunteer certified emergency medical technician, have been for 2.5 years. I love working with the people, even the ones who would rather knock my head off cause I want to save their butts! It's very rewarding making a difference in someones life. The money sucks royally, so I can't live off it. I am working to get higher up on the department to make more money.
