6. Across the globe there are millions of people who are need of our
help; these people by the virtue of their ill fate have been born in
conditions so stressing and crude that they are left at times with
no other choice but to leave through them. Such people, who
have been abandoned by their governments at times, are destined
to be hopeless as nobody comes up to them to lend a helping
hand. But today there are number of social organizations that
provide a helping hand to these people so that they can stand for
themselves and work their way out of this vicious cycle of
poverty and humbleness. Volunteering provides you with an easy
way of showing your concern and doing your share to fight this
fight for the people who can’t do it for themselves.

8. Volunteering has a long and illustrious history which
dates back to the time the first civilizations were formed.
Its earliest traces can be found in the Indus-Valley and
the Vedic Civilization. Volunteering has been carried
forward for centuries by monks, students and common
people as an act of reverence for god and a genuine need
to help the needy. The monks in Christianity and the
Gurudwara system are two most prominent examples of
community volunteer for the poor and needy. In India,
this act is given a lot of importance and is considered
sacred.

11. Volunteer tourism refers to the activity where you
combine the two ideas of volunteering and vacationing.
The idea is to volunteer and side by side enjoy your
vacations so that you volunteer in a place that has high
tourism value and volunteering opportunities.
Volunteering tourism is a recent phenomenon which has
gained a lot of fans in people who are really geared on
contributing to the society and since it is difficult to
find time for anything now a days, vacations are being
utilized for the purpose.

its cultural diversity, history, people and the hospitality it
provides to the world. It is the epitome of culture in the world. It

world but it also true that one third of its population s crippled
by the curse of poverty and are struggling to even get two square
meals a day. In this regard volunteering in India has great
potential and there are more than 450,000 NGOs which are
working in diverse issues who can be great resort for any sort of
