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.

I agree with you that volunteering is always good, not only for someone or something that is helped but also for you, for anybody who volunteers to help people and animals. That is quite nice. In the worl generally, and in Atlanta specifically,you can see how many people and animals very need your help. So, that's why there are volunteerings that are getting more now. Just take few hours per week, come to them who are always ready to welcome and receive our support. Don't think anymore, let's "hit the road" and say "GO".
