  2. 1. Yes, I volunteered at the Laduč Children's Home. I brought toys, candies and I played with them the whole afternoon. For st. Nikolaus, we give them cosmetics and hairdressers in my school style their hair for them.
    2. I think volunteering is important because it can teach you how to be kind and not everything you do will have material or monetary benefits for you. It can also show you how grateful you should be for all the things you have because some have nothing.

  8. 1) No, I haven't.
    2)Volunteering is important because thanks to volunteers you can help those who need it most. A lot of people are volunteers of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, collecting money into cans which the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity then allocates to new equipment for hospitals. Thanks to the (sometimes small) contribution of many volunteers, you can achieve something that someone would not be able to achieve on his own, and which would help a person or society a lot.

  12. 1)No, I’ve not to volunteer but I wish.

    2)The voluntary organization is to help other people so when we are a volunteer we learn help and be helpful for another person. I think that volunteering can change personality, helps to sympathize with and understand other problems.

    1) I have had some experience in volunteering. It was at a children's home near my school. Together with my teachers and colleagues, we brought them presents for Saint Nicolas Day. Also, I have spent the entire afternoon with those less fortunate children. It makes us aware of the fact how happy we are.

    2) I feel that volunteering is important because in this way we give others our free time and make them feel special.
    By doing some good things, we not only prove to ourselves that we are not selfish, but we also learn how to wrap up love as a present.
    We are also a good example to others in the school and community. This prepares us for our future lives as we need to be aware of all the different people our society consists of.

  32. 1.Yes, I volunteered so many times. For example, i joined a campaing to clean our beach, my friends and i made sales of foods and drinks for volunteering, also i helped children who really need it. They all were such good and nice experiences.

    2.For me, volunteering is really important. Because helping someone is really nice. That shows loves between people.
    And just imagine that you are such a poor person and you need really help to be alive, healthy or something else.But no one is helping you.It is so sad. Just think about how this makes them feel so sad.
    Also it is really meaningful when you see someone is smiling just because of you and your help. So that, it is really important for me.
