My name is Sonia and I’m 14. I am fond of painting, so I study at the art school where I can develop my talent. In addition, I frequent the Jewish Youth Club Mifgash. There I learned about volunteering and volunteer center in our city. For me, volunteering is an opportunity to do something good, to give happiness to someone. I participated in the projects «Recipe book», «Good Deeds Week», «Trips to the orphanage,» and now I am a leader of the youth club and the volunteer project of the AJT «Vishuddha». I would like to wish all the volunteers not to stop developing and spreading their activity, because volunteering gives us inspiration to live.
