Have you ever been a volunteer in any capacity.

It seems that our present government is trying to make many of us volunteer which is all well and good, and quite honestly in fields especially welfare system-- there could be collapse.
I personally do not like volunteers where they replace someones job.
I have a feeling this is what Cameron and Clegg are aiming for in this country.

I believe many volunteers work in hospitals etc.


My japanese friend once told me that Volunteering in Japan was not a normal thing to do. she said that often volunteers would be expected to work as hard as they would have done in a real work situation.


Have you volunteered at all? and did you enjoy the experience and did you learn from it?


I was a volunteer editor for the children's socety here in UK for five years.

I used to be a meals on wheels lady-- I have a feeling that has stopped now.

It can be really good fun to be a volunteer and can make a difference in other peoples lives.

I had blind people stay for holidays or escorted them to special places they wished to go to.


Is volunteering a good idea?
