 It is often we read about people, local and foreign, affected by natural disaster and accidents. We want to help as we feel strongly about their unfortunate circumstances. We want to help but feel distressed that we are not able to do anything about it. Then the feeling passes and life goes on. The spirit of volunteerism for the charity is good but action speaks louder than words.

There are many ways by which you can help others who are less fortunate. One of the easiest and commonest ways is to make donations in cash and kind. You read about a person or family in financial distress and you donate generously. An orphanage is in need of electrical equipment, you dig into your pocket to help them.


A more meaningful way of helping others is by doing volunteer work. As example The Red Crescent Society offers its services in government clinics especially during festive seasons when accidents are prone to happen. Sometimes, these club members offer their services as tutor for the orphans. This act might seem trivial but they make a difference.

Another form of charity service is reading to the visually-impaired at their centre or visit sick children in the hospitals. You can also volunteer as counselors for the ‘be-friends’, a non-profit organization to help those in need of friend who is willing to listen but non-judgmental.

At a higher level, various charity societies exist to enable us to contribute to the community. There are many opportunities for those who are suitable qualified to contribute to the betterment of society. The National Red Crescent recruits volunteer to help in times of natural disasters, like earthquake, floods, hurricanes, tsunami, and drought. They help to relocate homeless people. The Malaysia Medical Relief Society (MERCY Malaysia) provides medical relief and humanitarian aid for local and international emergencies volunteer are always welcomed.
There are many ways one can do volunteer work. It depends on whether one is willing or not.
