Being a volunteer is great!

Number 77 High School is home to three very special young people: Lin Pei and Zhu Ming. These three students all volunteer their time to help other people. This volunteer work takes each of them several hours a week, so it is a major commitment. Huiping loves to read, and she puts this love to good use by working in the after-school care center at her local elementary school. Here, she help young children to read. Lin Pei loves animals and plans to study to be a veterinarian when he leaves school. He spends every Saturday morning working in an animal hospital. Zhu Ming wants to be a professional singer. He sings for groups of people at the city hospital to cheer them up. “Volunteering is great!” says Huiping. “Not only do I feel good about helping other people, but I get to spend time doing what I love to do.”Lin Pei says he has learned more about animals. Zhu Ming says he has met some wonderful people at the hospital. The three students plan to set up a student volunteer project at their school. “Don't put it off,” says Huiping. “Become a volunteer today!”
