You can help people in many ways. Schools need help with taking care of children while their parents are working. Hospitals need volunteers to look after children while their parents see a doctor. Animal lovers can help take care of those dogs and cats without houses. There is something for everyone.
“As a volunteer, I don’t want to get anything. Seeing the children’s happy faces, I’m happy, too.” said Carlos Domingo an old woman of 62. “I often help older people learn how to use computers.” says another volunteer at the age of 18.

One day we invited some friends to dinner. When it was about six o’clock, my wife found that we had little bread. So she asked our five-year-old daughter, Kathy, to buy some. “Here’s a dollar,” my wife said, “get two loaves(条) of bread, if they have it. If they don’t have it, get anything. But hurry!” Kathy hurried off, and we waited and waited. By a quarter past six, all the friends had arrived. But Kathy had not returned. Finally we saw her dancing around the corner with a bright new hula hoop(呼啦圈) whirling(旋转) round her middle. “Kathy!” her mother cried. “Where did you get that hula hoop, and where is the bread?” “Well, when I got to the shop, they had sold all their bread,” answered Kathy. “And you said ‘If they don’t have that, get anything!’”
