Сочинение про волонтерство на английском с переводом

Volunteering not only helps and benefits one’s community but, in a way, it benefits the volunteers themselves. For instance, I believe volunteering makes a person feel worthy, as if they’ve accomplished something because they made someone else’s life better or they made a change in their community somehow. Volunteering also shows that that person is generous, compassionate, and good-hearted, because he/she is kind enough to give up a few hours of their time and put it into their community. It also serves others without expecting to get anything out of their service. I believe that everyone should give back to their community because volunteering will make your community a more comforting and pleasing place to live in.
Park Terrace at Radisson is where I’ve been volunteering since March of 2003. Park Terrace was established in 2002, and is a Residential Care Community that includes a memory-impaired neighborhood. As a Residential Care Community, Park Terrace is not allowed to provide medical services. It is not a “nursing home?. Park Terrace exists expressly to provide a protected living environment for those adults requiring such care and supervision.
As a volunteer, my duties were to basically entertain the elderly. For example, I would take them for walks, or play ping pong/pool with them, whichever they preferred. In addition, I would read the newspaper for them if they asked. I would also hold? coffee club’ every Sunday at 10:00 A. M. where they got their choice of coffee or tea and some treats to go along with their hot drink. Sometimes, I even gave them manicures. Other times, I would just simply talk to them and they would tell me their life stories, and about when they were younger. It was interesting to hear about their life and how different things were back then.

Volunteering is important for numerous reasons that benefit both the community and the volunteer themselves. When someone donates a handful of time, the difference made is tremendous and it shapes a community for the better while the experience improves the person who donated the time.
Volunteering is what makes a community because it brings people together to work on a goal. Whether it is a fundraiser for the research to cure a disease that affects the whole world, or to help a local family who has fallen in a time of calamity, volunteers make it happen. Community life is improved by aiding others and lending a helping hand to get a job done more effectively. More people working equals less work for each person and less time for the project. So when it comes to getting the job done, like a community clean up, the more the merrier.
When a person donates their time, they give hope to someone who needs it. If a local family’s house burnt down and a group of people hosted a benefit for them, that family’s faith would be revived when they realized that people care. Although that family lost their house and their belongings, seeing how their own community wants to help would bring joy and show them that money isn’t everything.
A volunteer also benefits themselves because they get to see how their contribution has made a difference. This experience contributes to personal development especially in areas such as self-fulfillment, self-confidence, and self-esteem which often flourish in the midst of volunteering experiences. The selfless act of volunteering provides a spiritual enhancement as well. Knowing that you made a positive impact on someone is an emotionally uplifting experience that can never be matched by money or fame.
Donating time now will also aid in the future. Volunteering strengthens present skills and also shows an employer that an effort has been made to make an improvement. Such skills include communication skills, ability to work with others, ability to take direction and lead others, dedication and time management. Employers realize that as a volunteer you must be able to prioritize your schedule in order to devote time for activities that benefit others. When employers see active volunteer work on a resume, they are much more likely to hire said person rather than someone who doesn’t volunteer. Employers are aware that most people who offer their time are conscientious, honest and hard working individuals.
These are just a few reasons why volunteering is important. Not only does it bring hope and happiness to people, but it also leads to spiritual and personal growth. It is an experience that cannot be bought with any amount of money.

I posted the following list a few years ago. However, given natural disasters being dealt with in North America and around the world, I thought it would be beneficial to re-post these reasons to volunteer.
Here in Alberta, wildfires have forced the evacuation of communities. In the most extreme case, the town of Slave Lake has be evacuated of its 7,000 residents. Thirty percent of the town has been burned and people are living in evacuations centres.
This has been a record-setting tornado season in the USA, leaving death and destruction in their wake. And the season is not over. Major earthquakes have hit both Japan and New Zealand with devastating consequences.
Often times, in among the chaos and confusion of these events, volunteers provide the key services and support that help people as they begin to put their lives back together.
Of course volunteering doesn’t need to be confined to crisis events. Everyday, organizations and services are looking for volunteers to help in the effective delivery of programs.
You can make a difference. Volunteering can transform you and the world around you. There are plenty of reasons why you should volunteer – find the one that feels right.

Practically all my free time I spend in the Centre of Complementary Education for children “Khosta”. There are a lot of amalgamations, which I attend with great pleasure and study at them. What beautiful concerts, summer camps, excursions, competitions, conferences are held in our centre! And everywhere I knew a lot of new and interesting things. On one of the lessons our teacher told us that by the President’s Decree 2009 was announced the Year of Youth in Russia. For Sochi and its citizens a special part was allotted – the organization of arrangements on development of voluntary and social initiatives in Youth environment, including the creation of Olympic voluntary corps “Sochi – 2014”. This theme interested me very much and I decided to know more about it.
Volunteer is a French word. The voluntary movement appeared in 1920. The young people from Germany and France began to restore farms, which were destroyed during the First World War.
The idea spread all over the planet. I look through tens of programs in Internet and understand, that if you want to be sensitive and attentive to people who stand in need of help, you are not sure to find people far off. You can help people around you.
The history of volunteer’s movement in Russia is existed for many years. In Russia it was always customary to make good things without prompt. At all difficult times in the life of Russia volunteers were at front: during the Great Patriotic War the boys went to the front and women, old people and children worked at the factories, plants and in the fields.
I have read the book “Timur and his team” by A. Gaidar. The main hero of the book was the ideal and the example for many thousands of the same age. I like this book, because children made simple things and they learned to be sensitive and attentive.
I and a lot of my friends would like to be volunteers. In our Centre there is an amalgamation for children under school age called “I want to know everything”. Not all parents take their children away in time: we can play different games with them, read or do some other activities. Spending time with children I have learned to be more disciplined by myself. At first I met with children every day, but then I realized that it’s quite enough for one or two times a week. I could prepare better for next meeting. And two my other friends visited them other days. So, children didn’t stay without our attention.
They liked to play different games. They even didn’t want to go home. But especially their teacher and parents were pleased, because they were sure that their children were busy with interesting and useful things. And what concerns me and my friends we have learned to value the time, to choose interesting games, to organize children, to be interesting for them. We’ve become more disciplined and close – knit. But mainly we understand that only by own example you can involve people in volunteer’s movement.
Exactly we, present schoolchildren, will soon determine the way of development of Russia. A lot of things are doing in Russia for young people that they could have excellent perspectives.
A great number of teenagers would like to be volunteers at the Olympic Games. Highly – qualified Olympic Games would be impossible without activists of volunteer’s movement, basically represented by young people. Olympiad is not sport only, but also culture and education. The main slogans of our Olympic Games are: “Sochi is the way of life of new generation”, “Sochi is for Youth”, “Sochi is a healthy way of life”.
A lot of volunteers will be required for the Olympic Games in Sochi, who absolutely unselfish and of their own accord will help at the Olympic Games. The volunteer must be diligent, self – possessed, kind, polite, reliable and work with enthusiasm.
During the Olympic Games the volunteer must have an opportunity to live in Sochi during the Olympic Games and if he is from another town, he must arrive there on his own. The volunteer must know some languages.
I thought: at a moment when the Olympic Games will start, I’ll just be 18 years old. I have got all these qualities. I study English and French. I want to be the volunteer at the Olympic Games very much, because it’s interesting, I can find new friends, and feel pleasure in it. And the participation in places of entertainment is the only chance to associate with famous sportsmen, notable politicians, foreign visitors. It will help me to plan my future life, allow me to find good job and make a good career. It will be very useful for me.
Now the spade – work for hire of volunteers is carrying out. I think that at present I can follow informative work and take an active part in the volunteer’s movement.
Working on the composition I realized that all my friends like to be necessary and useful to our town, our country, and what is more they want to help people unselfishly. And even if we are not grown – ups, but we are ready to help, we are ready to become volunteers. The main slogans of the Olympic Games are: “Sochi is the way of life of new generation”, “Sochi is for Youth” – these are our slogans, because we want and we’ll be the volunteers at the Olympics!
Я практически все свое свободное время провожу в центре дополнительного образования «Хоста». Здесь очень много объединений, которые я с удовольствием посещаюи занимаюсь в них. Какие у нас проходят концерты, летние профильные и оздоровительные лагеря, экскурсии, конкурсы, конференции! И везде я узнаю что–то новое, интересное. На одном из занятий в творческом объединении «Диалог народов и времен» педагог нам рассказал о том, что Указом Президента 2009 год в России объявлен Годом Молодежи. В опубликованном плане мероприятий по проведению года молодежи для города Сочи и его жителей выделена особая роль – организация мероприятий по развитию добровольчества и социальных инициатив в молодежной среде, в том числе создание олимпийского волонтерского корпуса «Сочи-2014». Меня заинтересовала эта тема и я решила побольше об этом узнать.
Волонтер – это французское слово, переводится как доброволец. Возникло волонтерское движение в 1920 году. Молодежь из Германии и Франции взялась за восстановление ферм, разрушенных во время 1-й мировой войны.
Идея разнеслась по всей планете. Я просмотрела десятки волонтерских программ в Интернете ипоняла: чтобы быть чутким и внимательным, не обязательно искать людей далеко, которым нужна помощь. Можно помочь и окружающим людям.
История волонтерского движения в России насчитывает не одно десятилетие. На Руси всегда было принято творить добро без подсказки. Добро, сделанное своими руками, возвращается к нам в виде уверенности в себе. Во все трудные моменты жизни России добровольцы были впереди: в Великую Отечественную войну мальчики уходили добровольцами на фронт, а женщины, старики и дети работали на заводах, на полях.
Я прочитала книгу: «Тимур и его команда». Главный герой фильма стал идеалом и примером для многих тысяч своих сверстников. Мне понравилась эта книга, потому что дети делали простые дела и они научились быть чуткими и внимательными.
Я и многие мои друзья хотели бы стать волонтерами.
У нас в ЦДОдД есть объединение «Хочу все знать», в котором занимаются дошкольники. Не все родители забирают детей вовремя:можно в это время с ними поиграть в подвижные или развивающие игры, почитать или позаниматься. Занимаясь с детьми, я учусь сама быть организованной,
дисциплинированной. Сначала я ходила к детям каждый день, но потом поняла, что достаточно один – два раза в неделю. Я могу лучше подготовиться, да и о своих делах нельзя забывать. А две мои подруги ходят в другие дни. Так что без нашего внимания дети не остаются.
Детям очень понравились наши игры, им даже не хотелось уходить домой. Но особенно были довольны родители и педагог, потому что они знали, что их малыши занимаются интересным и полезным делом..
Готовясь к этим мероприятиям и проводя их, мы очень многому научились: ценить время, выбирать интересные игры, организовывать малышей, быть интересными для них. Мы сами стали более дисциплинированны и дружны. А самое главное, что только своим примером можно вовлечь людей в волонтерское движение.
Именно мы, сегодняшние школьники, скоро будем определять путь развития России. В России много делается для того, чтобы молодежь имела прекрасные перспективы.
Большая часть учащихся хотела бы быть волонтером на Олимпиаде.
Олимпийские игры высокого класса были бы невозможны без активистов волонтерского движения, представленного, в основном, молодежью. Олимпиада – это не только спорт, но и культура, образование. Главные лозунги нашей Олимпиады: «Сочи – образ жизни нового поколения», «Сочи для молодежи», «Здоровый образ жизни».
Для проведения Олимпиады в Сочи потребуется очень много волонтеров, которые абсолютно бескорыстно и по доброй воле будут помогать на Олимпиаде. Волонтер должен быть трудолюбивым, выдержанным, добрым, вежливым, надежным, с энтузиазмом работать.
Волонтер должен иметь возможность находиться в Сочи во время Олимпиады, а если он из другого города, то приехать туда самостоятельно. Волонтер должен знать несколько иностранных языков.
Я подумала: к моменту Олимпиады мне как раз исполнится 18 лет. Я обладаю всеми этими качествами. Я учу английский и французский языки. Мне бы очень хотелось стать волонтером на Олимпиаде, потому что это интересно, можно найти новых друзей, получить удовольствие от сделанного. А участие в зрелищном историческом мероприятии – это единственный в мире шанс пообщаться с известными спортсменами, видными политиками, зарубежными гостями. Это поможет мне выстроить мою будущую жизнь: позволит найти хорошую работу и сделать хорошую карьеру. Это будет полезно для меня.
Сейчас проводится подготовительная организационная кампания по найму волонтеров. Я думаю, что на данном этапе я могу проводить осведомительную работу среди своих сверстников и активно участвовать в волонтерском движении.
Работая над сочинением, я поняла, что мои сверстники хотят быть нужными и полезными своему городу, своей стране, а главное, бескорыстно помогать людям. И пусть мы еще не совсем взрослые, но мы готовы прийти на помощь, готовы стать волонтерами. Главные лозунги Олимпиады: «Сочи – образ жизни нового поколения», «Сочи – для молодежи» – это наши лозунги, потому что мы хотим и будем волонтерами на Олимпиаде!
