It’s Not Just in Your Head,<br />
This Is Why Helping Others<br />
Feels Great<br />
When we think about the benefits of volunteer work, often<br />
we just think about how it helps the people or organisation<br />
on the receiving end. Here’s something you might not know;<br />
being on the giving end can be just as rewarding, if not<br />
more. It’s good for your heart, head, and health.<br />
Words: Christy Chilimigras<br />
It’s good for your squad!<br />
Most of us don’t know what we would do without<br />
our friends and family. Volunteer work helps to<br />
build an even bigger support structure in our lives.<br />
Psychologist Lauren Leon believes that helping<br />
others is an amazing way to build bonds and connect<br />
us to other people. The bigger your squad, the better.<br />
It’s good for the South<br />
African in you!<br />
Apart from the benefit of how good it looks on a<br />
university application, volunteer work prepares you for<br />
life after school in so many ways. There is no better<br />
way to learn about a country as diverse as South Africa<br />
than by engaging with different kinds of people.<br />
