proud. The feeling of fulfillment comes from helping the community and other people. In
addition, volunteering is a great way for families to have fun and closer. But many people
say they don’t have time to volunteer because they have to work and take of their
families. If that’s the case, try rethinking some of your free time as a family. You could
select just one or two projects a year and make them a family tradition. For instance, your
family can donate gift blankets for the old homeless people on holidays. Your family can
also spend only one Saturday morning a month collecting rubbish in your neighborhood.
