According to author Dr.
Hannah Schreier, volunteering is a win-win opportunity. Her analysis of five
studies indicated that volunteers may be “less likely to die over a period of
four to seven years than similar people who didn’t volunteer” (Parade, October
13, 2013, page 9). Why? Apparently, “helping others may lower some well-known cardiovascular
risk markers” (Parade, October 13, 2013, page 10). (To read more, go to Melinda
Wenner Moyer’s article Three
Months to Healthy.)
What does this really mean?
Who knows. The point? You may have a more interesting life when you volunteer –
a life that gives satisfaction to others; a life that gives satisfaction to
you.
So, make Literacy Action Center the
benefactor of your philanthropy.
