People have often asked what drives me to volunteer in community work and in the words of famous explorer, Dr David Livingstone, "The noblest thing a man can do is, just humbly to receive, and then go amongst others and give.
There is a time in life, after seeing how the world is, you will reach a certain realisation and become thankful for all that you have received. That's the period when you would naturally just start giving back to society as if answering the call of a higher power.
It's not about the amount you give and very many times in life, it's the little things that matters a lot. Every little deed that is done, we may not know it, may have a much larger impact on someone or society as a whole.
Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.
- Margaret Mead, Anthropologist
