Be a part of your community

Be part of a community and feel better about yourself and enjoy life more healthier and happier. Whether it is volunteering, befriending , being part of an charitable organization can help you and others physically and mentally.

Older people who volunteer a moderate amount of their time live more healthier and longer
than others who don't. Community involvement makes you both healthy and safe. Volunteering
just 100 hours per year - less than 2 hours a week - can help to boost self esteem, reduce risks of
heart disease and depression and help you live longer.

Simply being involved is far more important than what you are involved in. No matter how old
you are, you can still be very helpful and serviceable. Community involvement will widen your
friends circle and give you a sense of fulfilment. Anybody with a kind mind can do community
work.
