what are the benefits ?  

Volunteering has a meaningful, positive impact on our community. But did you know that it can have many benefits for you too?
As Buddha said “If you light a lamp for somebody, it will also brighten your path.”

Volunteering is ultimately about helping others and having an impact on people’s wellbeing.
You certainly return to society some of the benefits that society gives you.

Vo​lunteering is the perfect vehicle to discover something you are really good at and develop a new skill.
It is never too late to learn new skills and no reason why you should stop adding to your knowledge
just because you are in employment or have finished education.

Volunteering helps you build workplace skills like teamwork, communication, problem-solving, and organization, giving you more confidence to use them in your job.

"  I joined BSDA in 2015 to help out with project planning, reporting and proposal writing. I immediately felt welcome. Working with BSDA has been a wonderful and rewarding experience and I am grateful to them for letting me be part of their family."
