Do good – volunteer in hospitals
For those who want to volunteer, the most suitable place is the place where your heart feels you are needed. If you have visited a sick relative in the past or been to a hospital as a patient, you have probably noticed a lot of human, heartbreaking or moving stories. The various hospital staffs fall off their feet from overload and they cannot be everywhere, all the time. so, Volunteering in a hospital This is a very good option and way to dedicate your time to others. Volunteers can help, for example, feed elderly and infirm patients or accompany hospitalized sick children. For example, children who are hospitalized for a long time are not always accompanied by their parents 24 hours a day. There comes a moment when parents feel a physical and mental collapse. But when the parents know that there is a volunteer, close to the child, they can go home a little, rest a little, before returning strengthened and strengthened. Some of the volunteers in the hospitals come to strengthen the sick and injured, with toys for children, with comforting home-made food pots, with costumes or with songs for Shabbat or the holidays.
Do good – volunteer at animal charities
Not everyone who wants to do good is able to volunteer and help in hospitals. If you feel or feel that hospital assistance is less possible or appropriate, do not feel compelled to give up. There are many other options to volunteer and spread good deeds. For example, animal charities around the country need people with a heart of gold, who love animals. The organizations use volunteers to feed the abandoned dogs and cats. Volunteers are required to pet, clean, and give explanations to people who apply to adopt. Thanks to the volunteers, lots of abandoned dogs and cats find a warm and loving home. And there are volunteers who take care of animals of a different kind – for example in petting zoos or guide dogs. Volunteers care for puppies that are later to be used as guide dogs for the blind (until the training process begins and until the dog reaches the visually impaired). Among the volunteers, one can find people of all ages, who have in common, a love for animals.
To do good – a hot meal, for those who do not have a hand
Many people live in Israel, including the elderly, Holocaust survivors and poor families, who are out of reach. There are those who are unable to prepare a hot, nutritious and healthy meal for themselves. There are associations and there are volunteer organizations in Israel that enter exactly this corner. There are organizations where they set up a tavern, where the needy and sometimes lonely people can get. There you can fill your empty stomach with healthy food and enjoy human closeness. Volunteers are engaged in a variety of crafts in this field. Some people travel in their vehicles to collect donated food. Some cook or cook in large pots. Some people make sandwiches for school children or kindergartens that are out of reach and some bring hot food dishes to the homes of those who need them.
Do good – for the lonely and the destitute
Not everyone is fortunate, but volunteering can change lives. Take for example another short story, about Volunteering in Jerusalem. In the capital, as elsewhere, there are barren people. Elderly new or other immigrants who have not started a family or lost loved ones or whose fate has not improved in any other way. It takes no more than one person to dispel the stinging loneliness, from time to time. The story is simple: Willingness to reach someone or someone who feels alone, lost in the world. Reach out, chat, talk, read the newspaper, tell stories, soothe sadness. These are things that money cannot buy. But these are things that are worth much more than gold.
There are people who grumble about the situation in the country, grumble about this and that. But it is possible otherwise – just choose, pick up the glove and do good!
