I give my time to volunteering as I can see certain qualities that I can contribute to society over and above my paid work. The satisfaction is that when I see that people benefit from the little I do despite the sacrifice that it entails I realise that it is worth the time given and the energy invested. All contributions given by voluntary workers combined together will leave a positive end result of those around you. G.A.B.
