Our group was comprised of 3 Chinese students, and 3 American students. Nevertheless, even the Americans had…

People volunteer all around the world for multiple reasons. Some volunteer as a way to gain recognition in the community, build relationships with people (networking), or give them a sense of purpose. Recognition can be one intangible benefit of volunteering.
