Generally, it is easy to recognize that each country has many good people who
take care of others. For example, some of students in the United States often spend
many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages or homes for the elderly. They read
books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or
listen to their problems. Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who
are sick or old. They paint, clean up, repair their houses or do the shopping. These
activities have made volunteering in the United Sates become popular!
Especially, for boys who don’t have fathers, there is an organization called Big
Brothers for them. College students and other men take these boys to basketball games
or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things the boys usually learn from their
fathers. Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go and play amusing
games. Some of these clubs show movies or hold short but stimulating trips to the
mountains, the beaches or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of
students as volunteers because they are young enough to understand the problems of
younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world
are those who help to bring happiness to others.
