What is Volunteerism?
Volunteerism is to: Be Selfless: It is the opposite of selfish Be well-trained: Know what you are doing as a volunteer Be dependable: Do what you say you’ll do and do your best. Be open-minded: learn and experience new things. Be respectful: Show respect to others and their cultures Be humble: Do not brag or feel superior Be friendly: Treat others like friends, and they’ll do the same
Recommended one another to perseverance and patience, and (also) recommended one another to pity and compassion. Al-Quran [90:17]
