Importance of Volunteerism in Promoting Civic Sense
The latest episode of Jwandai Jazbey (Alive Spirits) focused on the importance of volunteerism which will promote civic sense in the society.
Haseeb Ullah, pharmacy student and volunteer at the Pakistan Red Crescent Society (PRC), Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Peshawar, participated as a studio guest in the show. Haseeb Ullah stated that every person can volunteer as volunteering doesn’t require any formal education. But, he added, the people are not ready to leave our comfort zone for the betterment of society. By engaging the youth in healthy and productive activities, we can prevent them from getting into negative activities. He added that a cause for imbalance among individuals in our society is that materialism has overcome humanity.
Haseeb Ullah stated that females are also actively participating in volunteer activities and recently 13 females have joined PRC for Shangla, where they conducted a survey for seven days. The arrangements of accommodation for the female participants of National Youth Carnival were also done by female volunteers.
A CRSS correspondent report was played during the show about the public views regarding volunteerism and civic sense.
Seven listeners took part in the program through calls and text messages and encouraged youngsters to volunteer along with studying.
