We are a non-profit organization (非盈利性组织). We have volunteer jobs for people of all ages. Anyone, from twelve-year-old children to people in their 70s, can become a volunteer.

You can help many people in many ways. Schools need help with taking care of children when their parents are working. Hospitals need volunteers to look after children when their parents see a doctor. Animal lovers can help take care of those dogs and cats without homes. There is something for everyone.

“As a volunteer, I don’t want to get anything. Seeing the children’s happy faces, I am happy, too.” says Carlos Domingo, an old woman of 62. “I often played computer games in my free time before. Now I help older people lean how to use computers,” said another volunteer at the age of 18.

If everyone helps out a bit, we’ll have a better world to live in.
