I am the kind of person that enjoys a lot sleeping. It is very satisfactory to stay a Saturday morning in your bed without a specific time to wake up. But since I am in Georgia, I found something more satisfactory than sleeping. I though about it when I was preparing my trip from Colombia but I never thought that volunteering in Atlanta was going to be so interesting. Yes, helping others in your free time is so much more pleasing that stay in your house sleeping. I am not saying that you have to do it all the time but I am pretty sure that you can find some time to volunteer somewhere. In my country is very different. The idea of volunteering hasn’t been developed enough to make it something serious. But in Atlanta is amazing. There are so many places that will take your help seriously that is an honor to volunteer for them; plus they need you. In the past two months I have volunteered in five different places and sometimes there are some things 
that can be improve but in general the experience is very comfortable. I am not going to recommend a specific place because one of the most important things to make your volunteer a great experience is to find a place that matches with something that you love. For example I love animals and I found a beautiful place where I volunteer on Fridays. I am just inviting you to try it. There are volunteers for only two hours or more so it’s not like you are going to spend all week volunteering. Feel good about yourself by helping others is very tempting. The next three links are going to help you finding the volunteer place that suits you better and hopefully will be inspiring enough to help you decide where you can volunteer.http://www.yelp.com/list_details?list_id=s6KLsSX_a-AC5Jmib-ppZw In this link you will read reviews from different people about their experiences in different places.

Imagine your day without something to eat, without work or school. This is the situation for millions of people around the world. Poverty is defined as the limitation for certain groups of people to obtain things that determine a quality of life, such as food, clothing, shelter and education. Even in developed countries, like the US, the number of families living in poverty has increased. How to fight against poverty? That is certainly a tough question. If governments give all the things that families that live in poverty don’t have, the problem will continue. If someone wants a fish, teach that person how to fish. A big number of children are part of the percentage of 
I don’t think that drugs or alcohol addictions are attached to depressions or serious psychological problems. Nowadays people tend to look for the easiest way to live and handle problems of any kind. Rosemary Pope for example, a known academic with years of success and studies died at 49 years of anorexia nervosa. I’m sure she had problems, like anyone else; but as a successful person why did she suffer from a fatal addiction? Why every day do millions and millions of people around the world kill themselves slowly by making use of drugs, pills or alcohol? I think that we don’t know how to handle problems or depression. If somebody has a problem, the idea of dealing with it, talking about it and facing the consequences sounds like too much to handle. Because of this, many people turn into drugs to “deal” with the problems and making them “disappear”.
