SOLIDARITY PAYS OFF

SOLIDARITY WORKS

By Inés Piñero

In our High School Solidarity is something important. When the school year starts, we can join different projects.  

You can choose to go to the Old People's home and help them for a month, just a few hours, when you talk to them, help them eat their food, in some cases, or go for a walk with them, you can also help other charities.

In my case I volunteered to collaborate with a charity association who works with people who have physical and mental problems. They are called "Hermanos de la Cruz Blanca". 

The first day we felt a bit uneasy because it was something new for us, but we soon started to enjoy while we were having a walk with them, talking to them, etc.

I highly recommend volunteer work, because you meet a lot of wonderful people and you feel what you are doing is important!
