Google Alerts keep on suggesting me articles about volunteering in nursing homes. So this time I read this one: http://www.mankatofreepress.com/local/x651187174/Group-helps-nursing-home-residents-who-get-no-visitors.
I feel touched every time when I read such stories. They inspire me and give me energy and inspiration to do my campaign. Even though now I am far away from my home country, I believe that when I am back, I will not leave my intentions to help the elderly. It will be really busy year for me with graduation and applying for colleges, but I hope to find time to develop my campaign.
The number of people in nursing homes is striking. Just imagine how many people feel lonely and miserable. And now imagine how many people are available to help, but they do not do it. Why? Just because they do not think about this issue, or because they are too lazy to do something, or they are afraid to do it alone. Whatever. You cannot stay at home while they need you! If you are afraid to help alone, gather friends, or join already existing volunteer organization. Find a solution, work, help!
