The goal of volunteering should not be on the desire to make funds or become the best and most popular social group, gain academic or professional benefits, or achieve some other self-fulfilling goals but rather on the sincere goodwill to address social inequalities and their root causes, improve the quality of life and preserve the environment for future generations. Our greatest desired reward should be the butterfly effect of our volunteerism in achieving the impact we long to see.
