IT PAYS TO VOLUNTEER FEATURE STORIES

“WHY SHOULD I VOLUNTEER?”

“WHY NOT?”

“I don’t have time.”

“Work is so busy, I just want togo home and sleep.”

“I can’t be bothered.”

In hectic, time-scarce Singapore,us Singaporeans have a hundred and one excuses

for not volunteering our time to society. However, if we could set aside two hours of the time we spent

following the latest Korean dramas every month,it would make a world of difference,

not just to the beneficiaries,but also to our way of

thinking and living.

Here are two everyday volunteersfrom THK Aviators,

who lead typical hectic lifestyles,but have made a point to set aside a little bit of

time to make Singapore a better,kinder place to live in. Instead of asking themselves

why they should volunteer,they asked themselves,

“Why not?”
