Cross Cultural Solutions

Tonight, The lovely folks at Le Petit Dejeuner (191 King East) are throwing a little fundraiser starting at 7:30 pm. The proceeds will go towards Tonya Reid’s volunteer efforts in the Volta region of Ghana where she will work with Youth Against Aids and WAFU. They are planning on having a 50/50 draw along with a silent auction which include a slew of donated items and photography by several local photobloggers which have adorn the walls of the restuarant for the past couple of weeks.

    Volunteer with Aim Abroad and see more of India’s thousand faces. If you go off the beaten tracks and sacrifice some of your time and efforts for those in need, they will show you an India you have never seen.
    Volunteers have the opportunity to get a glimpse into their lives, experience their hospitality and see the thousand smiles with which they battle their poverty.
    Volunteers are needed in areas where a great amount of personal contribution is necessary such as teaching, care for orphans, the blind or the disabled. As a foreigner, you can bring new aspects and modern knowledge into local grassroot organizations’ work and unforgettable memories into the lives of whom you would work for. You will notice the curiosity with which deprived Indian children will approach you with their questions…

    The word volunteering is used for a range of activities such as community service, citizenship, public service, community action, community involvement, and trustee.
    To some people it is an act of kindness; to others it is a means of achieving a personal goal or putting something back into society. There are also other benefits such as gaining new skills and improving job prospects.
    Volunteers come from all walks of life and are active in almost every aspect of society that you can think of – from visiting elderly people, to coaching young athletes or even governing local schools all these people work tirelessly towards helping society.
    Volunteering opens up a world of possibilities – and volunteers can and do almost everything! This includes informal volunteering such as friendly support within neighborhoods and community groups. It also includes acts of good citizenship such as spontaneous community response to emergency situations, community service and membership of community groups
    Self-worth, great fun, friendships and job opportunities can all be part of getting involved with your community.
    Volunteering may be an outlet for your natural talents, a road test for your new career, or simply a handy way to meet new friends. Your strong beliefs and values have inspired you to volunteer so don’t fall at the first hurdle volunteering although sometimes difficult and frustrating is one of the most rewarding activities you can fill you time with.
