Going Local: Volunteer and make community better

Welcome back,

Guys in my last post we have discussed about the project idea and proposal.

Today we discuss on how to make community better. In last post we have discussed how to control budget for the project. Still we have a lot of things that we can do for society with very low budget or even no budget at all. The most important way of doing it is to "Volunteer".



There are enormous activities you can do as a volunteer. Such as you can join an ecological organisation or you can help ordinary people in daily activities. Sounds interesting! well let me tell you the best part, you can volunteer abroad.


Not only you can feel awesome by using your skills and doing something great for the community. But you can also make new friends, exploring new places and meet different cultures.

So if you finally decided to become the volunteer you can follow these steps to make it happen:

  1. Think about what you really want to do. 
  2. Open the database of volunteering opportunities and take a look what is there.
  3. There are huge online community of volunteer sand lot of opportunities. Definitely check some groups on Facebook.
  4. Feel free to send Emails to the organisation, ask them if they need a volunteer or if they have an approved project you can work on.
Don't aspire for big capital fancy organisations. Target organisations in smaller towns where you can get a real insight into a local culture.

There are plenty of opportunities, you can choose from to make an impact. But volunteering is one of the best.


Volunteers don't get paid,
Not because they are work-less,
But Because they are priceless.

Building and Articulating Career Path

Welcome Back, In last post we discussed on how can we discover our professional self . But discovering yourself on social, general and professional aspects is not all you need to have. When you leave your institution and go out looking for a job and finding your career you will find the term C.V. quite a lot. sadly some institutions are so focused on your academic performance that they forget to prepare you for the big wide world of work. Many students are unaware of how to write a good C.V. A good C.V. reflects the soul of your past experiences. You might have experience in different field which are important to you. Remember don't use same C.V. for different job opportunities. Rather try to elaborate only those parts of your experiences which are relevant to the job you are applying for. You can search for the details of job on their websites, twitter accounts, etc. Study the job requirement and prepare your C.V. accordingly. ...

Personal Development

Welcome back, Guys in my last post we have discussed about Youth empowerment.   Today we are going to discuss about Personal development in detail. Here you have to answer yourself two questions: What are your values? What do you love doing? Did you ever think about which values are important to you and guiding principles in your life. Which values are less important to you? It is very common to hear from career experts that you should define your values first, before deciding your career. This sounds pretty easy but you cannot define your values before knowing what they are. Different peoples have different values and these values often determine the things that they do and love. Values strongly had believes that you might not know you have. Our Family Our Friends Our Community Our Experience These all contribute towards our values. Who we are? and How we see the world?
