introduction Volunteering is a great way to further a cause, support an organisation, and make a difference in your community. It is also an opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills. If you would like to help others by doing something other than giving money, consider lending your time and talents to organisations that need your help. Consider how to volunteer. Do you want to help the world or your community? Do you want to build your own skills, make new friends, and learn? Do you love what you do? Do you want to share your talents with others or give something back to society? Examining these sort of questions can help you to choose the right direction for your voluntary work. Choose an organisation that is meaningful to you. There are organisations doing all sorts of work; organisations exist for all sorts of
purposes, from the theater to sports, a hospital or an animal shelter. Volunteering could entail helping the elderly or supporting refugees. With voluntary work it is especially important that you choose something that you value. Look for an organisation or activity in your area or community. One should probably start on a small scale especially if you already have commitments at home or are still young. Find an organisation which carries out tasks that suit your skills and interests. Of course you can develop new skills and learn many things by volunteering, but your voluntary work can still be compatible with your interests and your personality. Do you like to work with people? With animals? With children? With numbers? Do you like to speak or write? If you’re an outgoing person you might not
have much fun behind a desk stuffing envelopes or filing papers. Others, by contrast, might find it uncomfortable to solicit funds door-to-door. Organisations need all sorts of skills. If you’re not sure what sort of work you like or dislike, a voluntary organisation may be a great opportunity to try different things. The Malta Council for the Voluntary Sector may help you in finding the voluntary organisation for you. They have a whole list of enrolled organisations which may meet the interests of everyone, coming from various areas. The list of voluntary organisations will be published as a Voluntary Organisations Directory and can be accessed on their website www.maltacvs.com Have fun! You will accomplish more if you love what you do, and chances are that your enthusiasm will infect others.
European Year of Volunteering 2011
2011 is the European Year for Volunteering. Tommy and Rosy discover a world of rewarding voluntary work as part and parcel of their daily lives. Learn to Give a helping hand by observing and imitating the experiences that Tommy and Rosy share with you.
What are you so fascinated with? Are you spying on the neighbours again?
Be quiet Tommy! I am watching that bird in the tree and you are going to frighten it away!
So, after lunch, who is going to wash and who is going to dry?
Alright then , no volunteers, then no ice cream!
Time has flown by‌ Tommy & Rosy are now older‌ they are taller and trendier.
After lunch, Tommy and Rosy walk towards the village church hall, where there is a charity sale going on.
Children , your mother tells me you will be helping us! Thank you, that is very good of you.
Looks like Mum has done it again , volunteering us into some crazy scheme!
Mum, what have you told Father Michael we will be doing for him?
Just a bit of tidying up of the village playground. You will have fun and it won’t take long… an hour or two maybe… that’s all!
You just have to give Father Michael some help.
Rosy and Tommy complain that they cannot help Father Michael because they already made plans with their friends.
We don’t have time Mum! After all , what’s in it for us? Nothing! Just a waste of time.
No volunteers to clean the board? Tommy get this board cleaned up!
The class teacher introduces and welcomes Hilary to the class. She encourages the students to help him settle in.
That’s the plan for my Saturday picking up papers. Mum says it’s fun! Can you believe that?!
The next morning, Rosy wakes up in a bad mood. Tommy is still in bed trying to extend his sleep.
Up, you lazy lot! Tommy, you have to go help Nannu. Rosy, I want you to buy me some vegetables. Let’s get going!
Tommy and Rosy set off in opposite directions. Tommy is going to his Grandpa’s house and Rosy has to run some errands for her mother.
Nannu! Is this you in this photo? Where is this?
I was working as a Red Cross volunteer in Africa!
Grandpa explains to Tommy the harshness and ill-effects of the war. He continues to elaborate on the violent and fearful experiences witnessed by the victims. However, he also describes the relief in the victims’ eyes when they were helped by the volunteers, who tried to heal their wounded bodies and subdue their pain.
I tell you Tommy, it is an experience I will never, ever forget!
Voluntary work gives you energy like you never knew you had! I miss that feeling.
Now who is going to get these boxes moved?
Tommy thought Grandpa was paid a lot of money. To the contrary, Grandpa explained that the Red Cross is about caring and helping voluntarily.
Well‌ I think that would be me!
On the other side of the village Rosy is approaching Violet, the vegetable vendor to place her order.
Mum has arranged with Father Michael that we will‌
Why the long face?
The vegetable vendor makes plans with Rosy so she attends one of her performances.
Lack of punctuality is lack of responsibility. When I volunteered to coach this team I made space for it in my life. I juggle between family, business and the team .
After helping his Grandpa, Tommy heads off to football training.
Sorry I am so late. I had to help my Nannu move some stuff.
The Coach continues to explain that the love for the football game is shown through self-discipline and respect for the team.
What a crazy day it was today. I had no idea about all those things Nannu did when he was younger. And the Coach sent me home for being late - I did not even touch a ball today!
That’s got to be a first!
Tommy and Rosy start getting ready for bed. Surprisingly without hesitation they both collaborate and clear their rooms. The next day, Mum and Rosy together with Violet, walk to the performance theatre since it is only a few meters away from the house.
The hospital?
Violet enters the hospital day room and the eager audience applaud her arrival. She starts singing and playing the music, whilst her audience clap and laugh at her jokes.
The hospital is my theatre! This is where I perform .
The next day, Tommy and Rosy are heading back home. They are surprised by all the commotion in their home stretch. A fire has turned their childhood tree into a beacon of flames. Tommy and Rosy are mesmerised at the courage of fireman Joe and the fire fighters.
You have such an exciting job. I have al ways wanted to be a fireman . I know this is the job for me!
Fireman Joe explains to Tommy that when he was about seven, they had a bad fire break out in a bakery that was right next door to their house. Joe and his brother were trapped by flames, but they were rescued just in time. That day Fireman Joe decided that he wanted to be able to return the favour to others. He decided he wanted to protect others as he had been protected. The day Fireman Joe turned 18, he signed up as a fire fighting volunteer.
This is not exactly my job. I am a fire fighting volunteer. My job is driving a breakdown truck.
The next morning Tommy and Rosy are out on the fringe of their village. They come across a woman who is trying to lead a very frightened pony up the horse box loading ramp.
Wow kids! You were a great help. Thanks for stepping up and giving me a hand. A pleasure. Where are you taking the pony?
The horsewoman explains to Tommy and Rosy that they are always on the lookout for abandoned or abused animals. They capture dogs off the streets or negotiate with horse owners to allow them to adopt their animals so as to avoid them having to be put to sleep. The horsewoman tells the children that even though the pony is frail and nervous, in a few months time she will be back to her good old self and eager to work with the children that visit the stables.
This pony is headed to my holiday home for dogs and horses. I run an animal rescue centre for dogs and horses.
Tommy and Rosy are in the playground talking energetically with friends and relating the episode of the horse.
The horse just settled down . Our help worked. Such a good feeling! The horsewoman did not even ask us to help, we kind of‌ just did it!
Look guys, that lady does all of what she does as a volunteer. Nobody is paying her. Animals are expensive to look after, especially horses.
I think we should go and help her out once in a while. What do you say guys?
Sounds like you are all in agreement for a change!
If you are talking about the kind of volunteers that helped me when I first started recovering, you will be great at it!
Hilary turns to his classmates and relates how a group of young physio volunteers, took it in turns to work with him in the gym and in the pool. He praises their help and dedication, as without their encouragement he would not be as strong as he is now.
On his laptop, Hilary shows his school mates some video clips of voluntary work performed by adults and children alike.
Key in “The Volunteer” and get started!
So… that’s how volunteering works!
All of us can volunteer. We all can make a big difference with a little extra effort.
It’s now your turn… Give a helping hand! Do something for somebody you don’t even know and do it for free!
OUT TO VOLUNTEER!

6. Now to make this little pentagon into a star, very gently and slowly use your fingernail to press on the centre of each of its edges. The star should puff out.
And you should have a lovely little lucky star! It may take some practise to get the star to puff out perfectly, but stick with it... you’ll get it! If you are having a lot of trouble, try different papers, or try wrapping the strip of paper around without creasing it too much. This helps a bit!
The goal of this art is to transform a flat sheet of material into a finished sculpture through folding and sculpting techniques, and as such the use of cuts or glue are not considered to be origami.

me for you day Why not be a kind and lovable person to your community, to your friends and to people who need your help? A person who manifests goodness and selflessness is a guiding influence to society. Why not choose a day every week and perform one small act of service for someone…. You could be a blessing in someone’s life… your smile as well as your kind gesture might change the other person’s life. The ME FOR YOU DAY is put in action by selecting a good deed to do for someone, completing the task when they are not around, and leaving behind a handwritten note saying “Today is YOUR day – I am giving you my help and my friendship… I will protect you and guide you”.
