Volunteers come from all walks of life, e.g., homemakers and artists, teachers and social workers, working and retired. Volunteers are representatives, of all ages and cultural groups. Each volunteer is unique, coming equipped with various skills and talents to offer to those who need them.

There is no single reason why someone becomes a volunteer. It may be to explore and expand one's own horizons, to offer a challenge for the individual or to contribute to the needs of the community. Whatever the reason, committing the time and resources that volunteering requires and helping a fellow human being in need, is one of the most rewarding experiences life has to offer.

The joys and frustrations of reaching out to someone and the sharing of time and talent, often leads to a friendship which opens up a whole new world for both parties.
