Ripples created by our actions inevitably make some difference in the world. This book is intended to help people who want to make a positive difference through volunteering. It contains simple and exciting methods for people to explore what skills and experience they have to volunteer, where and how they can easily make this valuable contribution, how to look after themselves while effectively helping others and the many enjoyable ways in which volunteering can enrich their own lives. As with all the YOU MAKE THE DIFFERENCE books, this book is intended to be enjoyable to read and easy to use - by everyone. The wealth of information is concisely written to be of benefit to professionals wishing to offer their skills; busy people wanting to make a difference in their communities and at the grassroots of their societies, and people from different cultures, especially those from the developing world, for whom English may be a 2nd or even 3rd language.
