Well, well, well… little GloVers! Do you consider yourself an experienced volunteer? Do you think that, when the time comes to get out of your house and go volunteer, there is nothing you forget? Do you think that you’re an expert in what you do and that there are no surprises for you?

 

Mwahahaha! You’re funny!

 

Read the following instructions about everything you need to know while volunteering and if you still think the same… We’re not sure if you’re a real human…

 

1. Be ready

Be ready to see and feel and experience something new. It’s all about the mindset.

 

2. Be a doer

To do is to be. To be is to do. Do be do be do be do.

 

3. Be a dreamer

Dream big. Dream as if there are no obstacles. Now get up and make your dream real. That’s what volunteers do.

 

4. Be open and available

Act and think with an open heart and be available for anything you never expected to do.

 

5. Have supplies

A bottle of water, some biscuits, a banana, anything… You never know where you‘ll end up, the only thing you can do about it is to, at least, have some supplies in order to survive.

 

6. Smile

Don’t forget it. You should smile either you volunteer or not, but especially when you do, because you’re doing something important and that should make you smile. So, let’s practise. Do it now! Just a smile, a small or a big one… Come on, it’s just a smile. Did you just smile? You little devil, we bet you did!

 

7. Give to other volunteers some of your supplies

Don’t be selfish! There are thirsty people around you, people who watch every single move of you when you’re eating this hamburger… Show some solidarity!

 

8. Give a hand to strangers

When we volunteer we usually meet new people. Give them a handshake. Body language says much more than what you imagine. And if they need any advice or an inspiration “give them a hand”, it’s good for you too!

 

9. Do crazy things that speak to your heart

You’re volunteering and suddenly all you want to do is scream out loud. Do not do it! However, if you want to smile to others, if you want to express your love with a kind and mostly not so loud way DO NOT HESITATE! We only live once.

 

10. Give your heart

Last but not least: Give your heart to it. Do it with passion or leave!

 

Now, after reading our instructions, try to realise some or all of them in at least one of our events and after that, comment about which was easy or not, funny or not, necessary or not etc. We’ll be together in new adventures this season and communication between us is more than important.
