I am feeling quite excited today. I have joined this NGO (Non Governmental Organisation) for over a year now and participated in so many activities. Today we are going to visit an orphanage and spend the day with the children. We have already prepared so many activities - colouring, playing games, singing and cooking. Having those little humans by my side will surely make my day. Volunteering is so fun!

That's awesome. I used to do a lot of volunteer work for many organizations. I still do, on occasion.

Helping others do bring self satisfaction. I developed a bond with those children today and definitely want to meet them again.

It stands for Non Governmental Organisations. They are independent bodies and the main purpose are to address social/environmental issues

This was one of the event I enjoyed the most. I feel for those children. They are for sure orphans but they arr so happy and they try to look for happiness in every little things they do. We did so many activities together and I am feeling as if I share a special bond with them. May God bless those innocent angels. But you have experienced much more than me. I am sure you will agree that those are beautiful moments. I hope you get to volunteer.

Spending time with the less privileged is good for the soul as they say. We do it each year by throwing parties for them at Christmas time.

They did have lots of fun today. Those activities which we organized only drove me closer to the children. I now feel that I share a special bond with them. I felt so sad when leaving. My lesson of the day is to try to find happiness in every small things I do. Those sweethearts taught me this

@ridingbet Mauritius is a small island in the Indian Ocean and it is found near to Madagascar. Now about the history - the dutch first discovered the island, after that it was governed by the French and later on by the British till we gained Independence. In the past Mauritius was unknown to the world but gradually this situation is changing. It is known for being a luxurious destination for tourists
