Volunteering is generally considered an altruistic activity and is
intended to improve the quality of life without financial gain.
Volunteers constitute 95% of the workforce required in humanitarian work
undertaken by organizations like Relief India Trust Wiki.
Volunteers can help bring about change in children's lives and
address issues pertaining challenges faced by underprivileged children
in the society. Individuals focused on bringing about this change can
join hands with Relief India Trust Wiki as volunteers.
For those interested in this noble cause, they can get in touch with
the trust's volunteer action coordinators based on the various cities
in India. They then will get invited to volunteer orientation meetings
to familiarize themselves with the trust's actions and get to know the
trust better. In so doing the interested parties get to know what they
can do as Relief India Trust Wiki volunteers.
Volunteer work in the trust is a matter of personal commitment to
bring about the much needed change. The program is flexible in nature
and individuals get to decide when to work, where to work and what to
do. There are no fixed hours but most of the activities take place
during the weekends. Those that are employed or in school can work when
it is convenient for them. Professionals are more than welcome to use
their talents and skills in impacting children's lives. Lawyers,
doctors, teachers, entertainers and all other professions can make a
whole lot of difference in this cause. All that is required is the
willingness to engage and contribute to the campaign positively in line
with Relief India Trust Wiki agenda. This is a group effort and solitary
action is not encouraged.
Volunteer work is not for any financial gain. Therefore Relief India Trust Wiki will not pay for the services offered, however, the trust may
reimburse work related expenses. To the individuals who make time for
such a cause much more is gained. The knowledge and skill gained during
this work does a lot more value addition to the individuals. Virtue is
cultivated, like perseverance, compassion and resilience, things that
money cannot buy. Letters of acknowledgement and, or certificates are
given by the trust to individuals who have been engaged in active
volunteer work for a year or more. This is if the certificates are
required.
Relief India Trust Wiki is committed to ensuring children's rights
permanently. This means influencing the relevant institutions that can
make this be realized. Volunteer opinion influences the government and
the campaigns change public opinion. The volunteers can help bring about
changes in the system and make the entire system more effective in
service delivery, like having more teachers in schools, having more
doctors and nurses. It is all about voicing the right opinions and
building enough pressure to bring about the change and make a
difference. The main driving force in every volunteer should be; bring
about permanent change in the lives of children, address the root cause
behind children right violation, how this can be dealt with and
eventually making the state more accountable for children's rights.
All this effort may take time but the change it brings about is permanent and positive.
