steve6611: Anytime Gilly you are a good friend to have
copy to steve from another forum where its about to take off !
i've got a feeling that this thread is going to be a really good thread !...and it could ' take off '
some of you obviously do some valuable and interesting work or might be thinking of doing some...but don't know whats involve or any information the organisations ( THANKS ONCE AGAIN AVEIM ) !
so why don't you all try and talk for a bit longer about
1. why you choose to do what you do ?
2. what was life like for you before that ?
3. what you feel you get out of doing what you do ?
4, what the organisations like ?
5. do you like or hate the other volunteers ?
6. does your face fit ?
7.what you feel the organisations have recently gained ?
8. what they might be trying to achieve?
9. the possible history behind it all ?
10.and why anybody would want to do it ?
