I used to volunteer at an elderly rehabilitation center and helped with activities and taking them out for strolls on the facility. I spent about 20-25 hours a week there for several months
Bingo was a headache. Idk how many times I had to repeat the numbers I pulled
There was also this awesome elder Japanese man, I forgot his name, but he told me his WW2 stories
Good for you Dreamy....lol at the Bingo story..."two fat ladies 88"

Teaching gentle hatha/yin fusion yoga to parents and employees in a hospital and lively Disney themed to kids at my spiritual center during the services.
I like guiding people through 1 hour of self care through breath and movement.
Sounds like very healing work 👍

2 years after leaving school aged 16, gardening, laying flag stone, building fences and barking, all for the elderly.
Was part of a project management team.
Do you take part in any voluntary work at the moment?

The guy who i listened to yesterday with a history of mental health issues does life coaching, talks at events etc and some of those he does voluntarily.

No, my stance on this has always been that they should turn those into real jobs and pay people will money instead of "social recognition".
....yes in an ideal world, but there is something kind about helping less fortunate people without looking for anything in return...

There was an opening for people to go to Africa and help people over there, i instantly signed up.
I love foreign lands and travel of which i have not done in years.
Sadly the age only went up to 25 and i was 27.. i never even got a reply.
It's not often things come up but if i ever get the chance...click to expand
It's worth researching, there's most likely loads of volunteering opportunities out there...

Except it isn't true. Most people who do that kind of stuff brag the shit out of it.
In the end it's christian parasitism all over again for most cases.click to expand
Not everyone, thankfully...😊

Seriously. In a world where automation is taking over more and more of the work force, this makes so much sense. A global wage, earned by charitable deeds.
Over winter, we have warming houses for the homeless. I’ve chaperoned a few times and donate items to a local outreach, Street Angels. They provide meals to the homeless and do everything they can to help them find housing. If homelessness is your calling, there’s probably something like them in your area too. If not, there you go. 😊
Wow, there are some very kind people here at Dxp

I was on a course in the city and went out at night and saw there were a group of men and women who had set up stalls in the street full of food and hot drinks and were looking after the homeless people. One guy in a door way had a nosebleed and some volunteers were cleaning him up. There was another guy having a hair cut on the pavement
Life changing work....such kind people💚

Dear God, I have a story to tell.
So this morning, I threw a plastic bottle into the trash can.

Hate working in all female offices.
A long time ago I used to think when some women complained about working with only women it was over petty things. In fact,my first ever supervisor was female and was a great one. So I had a hard time understanding i

i was having a whirlwind of a day and u saw that this guy was being a horndog under my pictures.
Usually I wouldnt give a hoot but I needed to see some positive reinforcement today.
Lowkey it's nice to have men be horn dogs. It has its place you know.
What makes people on here think that cheating translates to the same set of boundaries and circumstances to any one person?
What makes people think that it’s ok NOT discussing with their SO/date on what their personal view of cheating is?
Lol.
But seriously, how was he supposed to get a fair trial? Everybody and they momma heard about this. With all the leaks and misconduct by police it would never have gone to trial.
That's how sad I am right now

Let us get straight to the point.
If your SO used to pay for sex, in countries where it was illegal. To then have no remorse or guilt over it, knowing he could have contributed to human trafficking, slavery, etc. Completely aware that it may not have be

Do you feel connected to it? I love December. I love the holidays and general feeling of the beginning of winter.
It seems like during earlier american history people had more stern no nonsense looks on their faces. Now days everyone has a goofy ass plastic smile on their face. I know everyone smiles. I do it too. Is it due to quality of life, or sqewed view of past
The Millennial Topic earlier today made me go to various Retirement Communities and Old Age homes to poll 1200 Baby Boomers about what stressed them out most is their youth, 20's, and 30's. Just what were the most stressful times in the 60's 70's and 80's
I am very curious on feedback for the top 20:
