19．
You've seen people in need after an earthquake，a flood or other disasters．Perhaps you've walked past homeless people who are living on the streets．Or maybe you've been to an animal shelter （庇護(hù)所） and wished you could give every pet a home．
So what can you do to help people （or animals） who need help？The answer is-volunteer!
Volunteering helps others，but it can help you，too．If you're upset about something that's happened-like an earthquake，doing something about it can be a great way to deal with your feelings．
Volunteering also lets you see your own life in new ways．Sometimes it's easy to worry about something like grades or get annoyed because you don't have the most expensive sports shoes or the newest computer game．Volunteering lets you spend some time caring more about others instead of yourself．
Lots of people find that they really enjoy volunteering．Volunteer experiences often put you in a different environment and bring you to people that you wouldn't have come across in your usual life．For example，you might learn that just on the edge of your town are some kids who really need winter clothes．
It feels good to be able to meet a need like that．You'll know that，thanks to you，some kids have warm coats，hats，and boots．So whether it's food for the hungry，winter clothes，or homes for unwanted pets，doing volunteer work means one very important thing：You make a difference in the world．
