ESSAY - ORIOL GAVIÑO

Charity work is a common activity nowadays, but the reality is that some people are still against this volunteering work.

The charity work which is volunteer helps lots of people or other beings (animals for example) with things that they cannot manage. This widely known practise whose results are always positive has his scepticals.

Some people think that people should care about themselves and leave people with their problems and that happens due the charity image that they have about NGOs helping underdeveloped countries to improve their life quality.

I think that the majority of people that have this opinion had never worked before for anything that did not benefit them so they are close minded, but the reality is more than that, volunteering is not about helping developing countries, volunteer is required in different types from making company to old people to remove dirt from our seas.

I think sceptical people have to try, and they might discover that the benefit they get is different from what they thought about.
