I believe that volunteers and their help are very much in need nowadays. These people are willing to selflessly help other people. At any time of the day, they are ready to come to the rescue. Volunteers take care not only about people but they are also concerned about animals and about nature. Volunteers help to clean rivers, forests, they plant new trees and shrubs in cities, thus making them more livable. Volunteers save animals from poachers, they provide assistance to animals if they are injured. That is fine if you become a volunteer. The main thing is to be kind and friendly and to do the best to others. Then the world will definitely be better.
Я считаю, что волонтеры и их очень сейчас нужна. Эти люди готовы бескорыстно другим людям. В любое время суток они готовы прийти на Волонтеры заботятся не только о людях, но и о животных, о природе. Волонтеры очищать реки, леса, высаживают в городах новые деревья и кустарники, тем самым делая их более пригодными для жизни. Волонтеры животных от браконьеров, оказывают животным, если они травмированы. Это нормально, если ты становишься волонтером. Главное быть добрым и дружелюбным, и делать все возможное для других. И тогда мир, безусловно, будет лучше.
