Volunteering with elephants in Thailand through WWV ...I’ve always admired these beautiful creatures from afar and dreamed of visiting Thailand so it seemed the perfect choice for me. Even the price was reasonable so after a couple of months of filling out forms, doing lots of overtime and having lots of injections I left in April.
Dressing up as a wind turbine at Glastonbury with Oxfam ...As a first time festival go-er I got special priviledges, such as a separate camp site, toilets, showers, and even 3 free meals thrown in too! I met a totally amazing group of people and we have all kept in touch.
Volunteering in Tubridge Wells gives me a feeling I've really helped ...I especially enjoy going to the home, as I feel part of one community. I do this with a friend, and I really enjoy going every week.
Serving and befriending the homeless in BrightonGetting to know the customers has been an honour. This is what serving the homeless means to me, and no longer will I satisfy my conscience throwing a loose £1 into an upturned hat on the curb.
Volunteering's good feeling can surpass any statusWithout any qualifications or status symbols or money, or positions of importance, you can say, "I'm better than most", because you know that you fulfil a service that makes other people feel better and that makes everything seem right.
