Driven Volunteer, Inspiring Kindness Through My Selfless Act


The smallest act of kindness is worth more than the greatest of intention” quotes one of our most favourite philosophers and poets of all time, Khalil Gibran from the modern day Lebanon. The coherence between attitude and behaviour is not much, and people that talk about kindness do not manifest it all the time because of priorities, or the efforts it may take. But if you want to tilt the world towards a better place you should act, and what you do ripples more than you can imagine. There are people who have embodied their philosophy and are now inspiring others to move ahead in the benevolent direction of altruism and philanthropy
One such person is Sonal Gaglani, Ahmedabad based woman who has dedicated a generous amount of time of her life to outdoor volunteering activities. She is an active volunteer at Robin Hood Army – Ahmedabad.

Top 4 Reasons Why Should You Volunteer With Friends


When it comes to finding the best group volunteer opportunities, there are a lot of options available for you. No, we are not talking about just indulging yourself with groups of people for volunteering about whom you don’t even have an idea about. Rather, we are suggesting you get the benefits of opportunities while volunteering with friends.

You might be wondering why should you volunteer with friends? Well, there is not only a single reason but many actually. There are lots of benefits of volunteering with friends. 
If you are waiting to look for the volunteering work near you, there is a possibility you might want to travel. 

Travelling is something which most of the people do look forward to. But what if you are given a chance to travel with your friend rather than a simple acquaintance? Might be good, right?
Having the company of a friend is always better and since you are already familiar with them, you would definitely be comfortable with them. Such a kind of thing is going to make your volunteering work better too because you have a good company with yourself.

Here are a few more reasons to volunteer with a friend:

1. You Get to Learn a lot
It doesn’t matter if you have any kind of differences with your friend, you are going to learn a lot of things about them when you are close to each other and probably in the same kind of situation. You get to learn more about their behaviour, their tastes and other things. The most important thing about it is interdependence, which you adopt during your time together. Go on, learn a thing or two about your companion. It might even help you in identifying the personalities of people in future also.

2. You Lose your Comfort Zone Together
Come to think about it, both of you are out of your comfort zones together and you need to push each other forward. Adopt the way of “I’ll do it if you do it” and help each other through tough times. This method goes from trying different varieties of food to doing adventurous things like trekking. You are going to feel more comfortable doing everything along with your friend.

3. You Have a Person to Look Out for You
When you are with a friend, you are actually relieved that there is somebody with you whom you can trust and who you actually know. Rather than trusting somebody who you have met a day ago, it is always better to have a friend along (even if you are not that close).

4. You Might open up about your secrets
We all have a few things to which we hold on to. Sometimes in journeys, you get to share experiences and secrets with your friends which you might not have even discussed before. Probably a crush on your friend’s girl in school or other such jocular things which you are going to settle with few hearty laughs. Go on, it is always a better option to reside in people you are comfortable with.
