I think volunteer work for school children or for older people is pleasing one.

I think volunteer work BY school children for older people is pleasing.
It is always gratifying to see your kids extend help to the elderly :imanangel:
my blood boils when I see some children shunning elderly people. :mad:

imho, a simple start can be like this activity, especially for young teens.

hospital and hospice also need volunteers to talk to old folks who are lonely and need a companion to chit chat, or help them do simple body exercises, or organise a session let them sing their beloved oldie songs from 1960s, 1970s, make them happy, cheer them up, etc.


animal lovers can volunteer help out at SPCA -
bathe cats, bathe dogs, clean their mouth, feed them, use comb brush their fur or bring them do some exercise, help to train intelligent dogs.
