Volunteering as a pro-social charity activity

Abstract

The desire to help others is a trait that almost every person has. It arises from the subconscious need to satisfy a sense of connection and intimacy with others. Helping is an integral part of a culture that has evolved as human history evolves. Over the years, action has become increasingly important of an aid nature, which is characterised by voluntary.

This article provides a brief description of the origins of philanthropic activities and their evolution over the centuries. Aid measures targeting the vulnerable and needy are now becoming a natural, daily reflex. This can indicate a positive reception and development of this type of activity. It is this pro-social philanthropic activity that is the prerequisite for delving into the subject of volunteering, which is so important for social work.
