What Does A 'Volunteer' Mean?
A Volunteer is someone who offers help for people outside her/his immediate family circle without waiting for a financial reward. Volunteers aim to improve people's quality of life and to achieve goals that are considered to be in the best interest of the society by helping with various activities held by foundations and NGOs.
