We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. Millions of volunteers around the world agree with that. In the US, April is National Volunteer Month, to praise and thank volunteers who lend their time, talent, and support to what they care about.
(1) People who volunteer spend their time doing things they feel strongly about. For example, animal lovers may volunteer at an animal centre to help improve the treatment of animals. Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices.
(2) Take Andrew, a college student, as an example. Andrew didn't spend his last spring holiday relaxing. Instead, the 19-year-old boy decided to do something for people who were less lucky than himself. He travelled to an orphanage (孤儿院) in Central America.
(3) And it depends on volunteers to stay open.
Andrew didn't speak much Spanish, but he found communication wasn't a problem, "You communicated with love," according to an article on his website. And what he gave out, he got back. "(4)" Andrew's first time as a volunteer only lasted a week, but by the end of that week, he knew he'd be back soon—because he saw love and hope.
Volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless.
(5)
A. It is in one of the poorest parts of the country.
B. You could see love when you looked in their eyes.
C. Volunteering means choosing to work without being paid.
D. It's a chance for poor children to get better care and support.
E. Life will be difficult, but I have the confidence to live a happy and full life.
F. For young adults, valuable lessons may also be learned through volunteering.
G. This is perhaps why volunteers all around the world keep doing what they do.
