Have you ever heard of volunteer travel During the trip, volunteer travellers often provide services like teaching, cooking, animal care and cultural activities.In exchange for their help, they get meals, classes or something else for free or at a lower price.
You may think this kind of journey can only come true in these years by modern transport. But in fact, volunteer travel dates back to(追溯到)1958. At that time, Alec and his wife Mora from the UK started Voluntary Service Overseas(VSO)——a group providing volunteer work all over the world.
In the past, volunteer travel usually took place in foreign countries.However, more people have taken part in volunteer trips in their own countries these years. According to Sanlian Life Week Magazine, volunteer trips to the countryside interest people living in the city.

Volunteer travel helps city people get a taste of village life. Many people are bored with the busy life in the city. They often say to themselves, “Do I need to move to the countryside for a quiet life ” Volunteer travel may help them find out the answer. What's more, volunteer travel helps local people improve their lives. When more visitors visit the villages, they can get more jobs and make more money.
Volunteer travel can not only show kindness to people in need, but also help people get different life experiences. Why not have a try next time

After graduating (毕业) in 2017, he finished eight months of training in a local hospital and started to work at a nursing home.

Once, my desk mate failed his English exam. I volunteered to help him learn English. In the end, his English grades became very good. He was very grateful for my help and we became good friends. Through this experience, I felt very happy and also experienced the joy of helping others.
So let's start with small things and spread kindness around us.
