Volunteer... Step Forward!

A brand new year, and a brand new opportunity to think of others and actually take action. After weeks of preparation, the annual volunteering information session was held at St Patricks, with the main theme being that of having an opportunity to do something for others in 2010. The session brought together more than 50 youths who showed an interest in volunteering in 2010.

Although these are not the only opportunities that SPYS offers volunteers, this session's focus was targeted at the existing opportunities to help the Salesians on their projects with children in India and Ghana. In fact, following a brief introduction on who SPYS are, the youths were split into two groups, with each group taking it in turns to hear first-hand experiences of fellow youths who have previously volunteered in India and Ghana respectively. The evening ended with a moment of reflection, and why not, some light refreshments!

Do you know anyone who is young at heart and would like to volunteer through SPYS but couldn't attend the information session? If yes, then please contact SPYS at spysint@spysmalta.org
