Volunteering At Nursing Homes
My friend Hannah Tucker spends her extra time volunteering at nursing homes outside of school.
Volunteering is a great way to spend your extra time. There are many advantages of volunteering at a nursing home; residents receive one on one attention, there are fun activities everyday, and you get rewarded with smiles. Volunteering can also help you meet new people and become more appreciative. ” I like to do activities with them, there is this one thing, like a Greek social, and we listen to music and we learn about Greece. I made friends with this lady named Kitty, she is really nice and likes to tell me stuff about everyone, like what their names are and something cool about them. Volunteering has taught me to enjoy things more and to be thankful for good health”, Hannah says.
Hannah enjoys volunteering at nursing homes, maybe you might enjoy volunteering too. Whether it’s a nursing home, an animal shelter, or a homeless shelter; you’re giving back to your community.
