A good choice for the summer vacation.

You're right. What can a volunteer generally do?

Many things, like creating a change in the surroundings, providing shelter and food to the needy ones.

So you mean volunteering is not just donating cash or things?

Right! We prefer to call that charity.

Was it a full-time job for him?

Wow. this requires great passion.

Sure. The best way to volunteer is to get involved in activities we are passionate about.
