Volunteer

"We make a living by what we do, but we make a life by what we give."
Sir Winston Churchill




A volunteer is a youngster or adult who, because of his/her personal interests and civic spirit, dedicates part of his/her time, without getting paid, to different forms of activities, organized or not, aiming at the welfare of the society, in many areas.
We would like to do voluntary work in a near future. The bottlenose dolphin fascinates us. It has its own particular style, its bottle shaped nose, and that’s what we like about it. So, we would not mind to save them. In order to do that, we would go to the Amvrakikos Gulf, in Greece, because there are many good volunteer programmes to save the amazing bottlenose dolphins. The most important difficulty we would have to overcome would be the language, we can’t speak Greek, but we would survive speaking English.
In our opinion, a volunteer must have good communication skills, be able to speak different languages, but the most important one is the English. He/she should also be good with the public speaking and be well prepared to deal with the technologies related to the job he would perform.
