That's wonderful. I believe volunteering can have positive benefits for both the volunteer and the community being helped.

Yesss, in fact tomorrow i will go again and i think tomorrow there will be new volunteers and i think i will have to train them

That'll be worthwhile. The word "Volunteer" comes from the French "Voluntaire" back around 1600and meant One who offers himself for military service.

My GF wants to Volunteer for the white hemlents but its a little scary
1_Wizard
Gosh, that sure is scary. Worthwhile though. Many volunteers offer to help based on their specific training, such as medicine or emergency rescue. Is that what your GF is planning?

Yep exactly that, but she has not decided 100% yet she is the one that volunteers everywhere dog shelters, churches etc
1_Wizard
What a wonderful person. It great that she's so altruistic and helping people and organizations for no financial gain whatsoever.
