Each nation has many good people who help take care of
others. For example, some high school and college students in the United States
often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages(孤兒院) or homes for the aged(老人).
They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit 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, or repair houses, do shopping
and mow(割草) their lawns(草坪). For boys who no longer have fathers, there is an
organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these
boys to basketball games or on fishing trips and help them get to know things
that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Some cities have a number of clubs where boys and
girls can go to play games or learn crafts(手藝). Some of
these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches,
museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high
school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to
remember the problems of younger boys and girls.
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in
the world are those who help bring happiness to others.
