5. THE CONCEPT OF
VOLUNTEERISM

7. VOLUNTEERISM
It is a form of community spirit that encourages
participation. In the Filipino context, it is deeply rooted
in our values as expressed in neighborly concerns.
In an age where every form of service is usually
compensated with monetary fee, volunteerism
provides an opportunity to do service for the sake of
community welfare beyond one’s self-serving motives.

8. VOLUNTEERISM
means doing service wholeheartedly and without
expecting a reward or payment for it.
The desire to volunteer is an example of a
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _.
We, as humans, are expected to treat other
creations right and with respect.

19. BENEFITS
OF
VOLUNTEERISM

20. One important feature of volunteerism is
initiative. According to Lao Tzu, “The journey of
a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
He means that people should be self-motivated
and this self-motivation is expressed as one’s
initiative. A person who initiates without external
promptings has the motivation to participate.
Civic groups who care for their community and
society initiate programs and advocacies to deal
with the pressing needs of communities.

21. Benefits of Volunteering
◂ Volunteerism creates the
starting point of anything good
in the world.
◂ Volunteerism creates models
for others to follow.
◂ Volunteerism cuts the tendency
to be dependent on others.

22. Our communities can be productive
through the spirit of volunteerism.
Without volunteerism, people could fall into
a culture of “mendicancy” – the lame
attitude of being dependent on others, both
in present and future concerns. Without
these values, progress is just an illusion.
