Dear Students’ Union,
I have just read an article on“Project Hope”in an English newspaper.A girl named Xiao Juan was so poor that she couldn't go to school.Project Hope made her wish of study come true.But there are thousands of children who also cannot go to school.I think Students' Union should organize the students to raise money for a primary school in the local village,and give away some books and teaching equipment.I hope the children there can get better education,and work for the village when they grow up.
Best wishes!
Yours truly,
Sam

Thanks for your letter.I'm glad you would like to be a volunteer.Now let me answer your questions.
I volunteer because I enjoy helping others and can learn a lot from others.As students,we can take part in some interesting activities,
such as looking after animals and working for sports matches.Also,we can join charity organizations to help protect the environment and so on.It's OK to have problems,because volunteering takes much time and energy.Sometimes I can't balance my study and work.If your parents don't allow you to volunteer,you should have a good talk with them.Try to let them understand you.
I hope you love volunteering and do well in it.Looking forward to your good news.
Best wishes!
David
