10 BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING

Did you know that April 23rd-29th is National Volunteer Week in the United States? It's the perfect time to find ways to give back. From donating clothes, blankets or food to a local charity, assisting an elderly

neighbor or friend with chores or errands or even donating blood, there are endless ways to give back to your local community through volunteering.


The common denominator for all volunteer work is that it is unpaid. So why would you want to devote your time to work that doesn't pay you anything? Because not only can volunteer work be fulfilling, it offers some big benefits. Here are 10 great reasons why you should volunteer.


Volunteering …

1. Makes you feel good. Perhaps the first and biggest benefit people get from volunteering is the satisfaction of incorporating service into their lives and making a difference. The benefits of pride, satisfaction, and accomplishment are worthwhile reasons to serve.
2. Improves your health. Research has established a strong relationship between volunteering and health. According to a report from the federal Corporation for National & Community Service, those who volunteer have lower mortality rates, greater functional ability, and lower rates of depression later in life than those who do not volunteer.
3. Strengthens your community. By acting to make your community a better place you improve the quality of your community and the quality of life for all in it.
4. Strengthens your ties to your community. Volunteering connects you with community in a tangible way, acquainting you with resources and revealing fun and fulfilling activities.
5. Sets a great example for your kids. When kids see you volunteer or, even better, volunteer with you they learn the importance of helping others, making a difference and being part of a larger whole. A child who engages with community and who continues to help others as he or she grows may be happier and healthier. Volunteering together as a family can help you bond with your loved ones while giving back to the community.
6. Helps you develop relationships and relationship skills. Volunteering can help you deepen your existing relationships, develop new relationships, expand your social and professional networks, and improve your social skills. Volunteering with others can help you get to know people better. It can also be a great way to meet new people by exposing you to people with common interests.
7. Gives you opportunities to pursue your interests. Participating in activities you find meaningful and interesting offers opportunities for creativity, fulfillment and enjoyment that will improve all aspects of your life.
8. Helps you improve personally and professionally. Volunteering offers you the opportunity to build upon your existing skills. You can also develop new skills and/or get experience in a new area of personal interest, get practical training and experience in a professional field, or to obtain certification or credentials for a job or educational pursuit. Many organizations offer training and/or professional development opportunities for their volunteers.
9. Shares your knowledge. You have tons of information and skills to share, so help others learn from your wealth of knowledge. Your experience and understanding can be great assets to an organization that is working to serve in your community.
10. Builds a student’s resume. Volunteering can be a great way for students to enhance their resumes for college, as well as for job hunting after they have completed their educations. In addition to providing valuable personal and professional skills as noted above, volunteering demonstrates ambition, drive and commitment.

Volunteering brings positive change to so many lives, including your own. So get out there and do some good!

PICS & VIDEO: NIKKI LAOYE'S ANGEL 4 LIFE FOUNDATION PROVIDES RELIEF AID FOR INTERNALLY DISPLACED PERSONS IN KUCHINGORO CAMP, ABUJA

Multiple Award winning singer/humanitarian, Nikki Laoye has stepped out to support internally displaced Nigerians via her foundation, Angel 4 Life, with the relief project tagged "The Angel Relief Fund".

Nikki Laoye visited the Kuchingoro camp in FCT on Monday, March 23rd, along with her husband, Alex Oturu; top gospel artists from Abuja (Faith Yebo, Japhy Davies, Chris Ade, Chris Tover, Samfoni) and officials of the government agency, NCFRMI (National Commission for Refugees, Migrants and Internally Displaced Persons) led by Director of IDPs, Mrs Magaret Essien and Director of Migration, Hajia Amina Ibrahim.

The Kuchingoro camp is a makeshift one with houses made of sticks and old sacks of rice used as walls & windows. The men have also built a viewing centre using the same materials, for amusement purposes & connection to the outside world.The children were also seen attending school on an open field, with the younger ones learning under the trees while the older ones are taught under a canopy.

Food supplies, Relief Items and Toys were distributed to the displaced men, women and children who had moved to the camp from Borno and Adamawa States. Meetings were also held with the group leaders of the camp community to discuss their present situation with promises and plans of future support from the foundation to help with the empowerment of the men and women as well as the education of the children on the camp.

The women and children of the camp sang and danced to celebrate Nikki and the rest of her team, in appreciation of the love and concern that was shown to them. In response, led by singer, Chris Tover, the musicians - Faith Yebo, Japhy Davies, Chris Ade, Chris Tover, Samfoni with Nikki Laoye also sang and prayed for them in Hausa.

Kuchingoro camp is just one of the many IDP camps set up with barely enough room for the thousands of Nigerians who had run for safety from the North Eastern part of Nigeria as no fewer than 3.3 million Nigerians were displaced by conflicts in the immediate past year.

In line with her service as an ambassador for the NCFRMI commission, Nikki Laoye has set up The Angel Relief Fund to further support the ongoing relief works for internally displaced persons (IDPs) within Nigeria, who have been badly hit by the scourge of violence & terrorism.

Last year, Nikki Laoye was appointed as the Celebrity Voice for Refugees and IDPs by the agency's SouthWest zone, to bring to the forefront the activities of the NCFRMI as well as the plight of refugees & internally displaced persons.

Speaking about the initiative, Nikki Laoye says "It is really a sad situation in the north for our fellow brothers and sisters and we do pray for God's help and strength to our troops to quench this invasion once and for all. In the meantime, We have to look out for our own and do what we can to soothe their pains. They are in constant need of food, water, clothing and more to survive daily as they rebuild their lives once again. It's the little we can do. I say a big God bless you to everyone who has donated and supported this initiative – We are Strong Together, Thank you".

Nikki Laoye and her foundation kicked off The Angel Relief Fund last month, with the support and donations of well meaning individuals, organisations and her fellow colleagues in the entertainment industry.

A social media campaign was also created with specially designed promo pictures of celebrities speaking out for a better Nigeria and soliciting for more support for the displaced in the North which were shared on their social media platforms to create further awareness amongst their fan network. They also supported the relief fund with personal donations.

Some of the celebrities include Yemi Alade, Show Dem Camp, Faith Yebo, Steve Babaeko, Anny Ibrahim, Seyi Shay, Oscar & Titi Oyinsan , Waje, Rotimi Keys, Lara George, Kiki Omeili, Niyola, Ada Ehi, Olaitan Dada, Frank Edwards, Emma Nyra, Timi Dakolo, Monique, Sammie Okposo, Joe Praize, Mike Abdul, Onos, Ibitayo Jeje, Omenesa, Gaise Baba, Praiseworld Radio, Capital F.E.M.I, Do2Dtun of Cool FM, Uche Nnaji of OUCH, ToluFame, Jenny O (HipTV Presenter) and many more. 

Pastor Tunde Ayeni of Graceville Christian Centre Abuja also supported the outreach with the provision of two large white buses with drivers to help with the transportation of the team and relief items to and fro the camp.Top media companies in Abuja - Big H Studios and El-Gibbor Video Productions supported the initiative with  free photography & video services for the day.

#TheAngelReliefFund initative is an ongoing awareness fund raising campaign to synthesize the public about the situation in Northern Nigeria and also get more involvement and donations from the society towards their needs.All Donations are used to provide food, medical supplies, care and support for internally displaced persons at different IDP camps across the nation.

Nikki Laoye's Angel 4 Life Foundation has actively conducted humanitarian projects in Nigeria for the past five years and impacted many Nigerians through different programs for people with disabilities such as the Buy A Cane project for visually impaired individuals; Inclusive Education projects for physically challenged students and currently the empowerment and support of internally displaced Nigerians via The Angel Relief Fund initiative.

A SMILING CHRISTMAS: REACHOUT22PROJECT GIVES BACK TO AJEGUNLE COMMUNITY

“When others are celebrating during the festive season, they are salivating…But now, with ‘Smiling Christmas’ their story has changed” – Omoyele Isaac success

Omoyele Isaac success is the founder of the Reachout 22 Project. ‘The Smiling Christmas’ is a concept of Reachout22 Project for vulnerable children. It was developed to put smiles on the faces of vulnerable families through the provision of Christmas supplies such as food, clothing, and gift packs.

Isaac Success and Omobolanle Bisiriyu with the children

On December 22, 2014, the Reachout22project team members as well as volunteers stormed the streets of Ajegunle with holiday surprises for several families in the impoverished neighbourhood. The team visited the homes of students whom they had tutored during the 2014 school year and surprised their family with Christmas supplies such as rice, vegetable oil, maggi, non-alcoholic wine, tin tomato, clothing, and gift packs. The students who benefited from the holiday surprises were then taken to the park, cinema, as well as a shopping mall.

Speaking on the event, Omobolanle Bisiriyu (Project Manager) said: “We believe that this would give them healthy self-esteem as children because most of the families where beneficiaries of Reachout22 project come from find it difficult to feed especially during the festive period.” Speaking on the event, Belynda Oduware (Project Welfare Director) stated: “We reached our goal of making this Christmas a Smiling one for vulnerable families…No doubt it was a memorable experience.”

 

The smiling Christmas concept was supported by Rubies n Sapphire, Planet Heart Foundation, Olamild Entertainment, MyPassionMyLife Media, World Impact League NG amongst other Individuals.
