It is also about 3 months since posting of knowledge-sharing news has become kind of scarce..... The reasons for the above are as follows: The regular web operation volunteers were either too busy with their lives or indisposed to volunteer and The contribution flow from YOU out there also slowed down.... AND/OR the current volunteers are getting tired of carrying the load alone for the last 10 years???!!!!!! AND/OR present time ear called kli-yug in vED is really affecting entire humankind to be self-fish and greedy for creating personal wealth that the time to care and share is ignored... AND/OR YOU have not really learned vED and are not living your daily life to the rules and regulation of DHARm which teaches that if YOU do not live by giving Daan and live for taking only then you are creating a future of DuKH (pain and suffering) as YOU would not have any puANy kARm-fl (fruits of kARm) to receive for obtaining suKH (joy, happiness and pleasure) in future.....

WITH YOUR VOLUNTEERING PVAF IS EMPOWERED TO REMOVE POVERTY THROUGH EDUCATION EDUCATION IS knowledge or skill developed by a learning process or experience. Education is central to development. It empowers people, strengthens nations, and is key to attaining the Millennium Development Goals. Getting an education is one of the best things you, as a young person, can do for yourself to ensure you lead a better, more fulfilling and prosperous life. Education can significantly improve people’s lives. It benefits people, society, and the world as a whole. Some examples: It enables people to read, reason, communicate, and make informed choices about their lives. A more educated person often has more opportunities in life, earns more and has a higher standard of living. Did you know that each year of schooling increases a person’s earnings by 10%! Skilled workers enable a country to develop and become wealthier as a nation, which benefits all. A skilled labor force creates, applies and spreads new ideas and technologies. Without education, inventions like electricity, medicine, cars, computers, video games, and much more wouldn’t exist! WITH YOUR VOLUNTEERING PVAF HAS AWARDED  IN 2005-06 VIDYAA-DAAN TO 6 MORE STUDENTS TO HAVE COLLEGE/UNIVERSITY EDUCATION WHO OTHERWISE HAD NO ALTERNATIVES OTHER THAN LIVE IN POVERTY SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT HAVE EDUCATION.  14 POOR STUDENTS EDUCATED SINCE 1999 BY YOUR VOLUNTEERING & DONATIONS   Please click on the next line to be amazed by the benefits from volunteering which is pure, selfless giving of the noblest kind......

BENEFITS OF VOLUNTEERING AS CHARITABLE GIVING From: givingandvolunteering Nonprofit and voluntary organizations, individuals, and society as a whole benefit from the activities of volunteers. Volunteers themselves also benefit from their volunteer activities, according to the 2000 Canadian National Survey of Giving, Volunteering and Participating (NSGVP). Top benefits of volunteering: More than three quarters (79%) of volunteers said that their volunteer activities helped them with their interpersonal skills, such as understanding people better, motivating others, and dealing with difficult situations. Just over two thirds (68%) of volunteers said that volunteering helped them to develop better communication skills. Sixty three percent reported increased knowledge about issues related to their volunteering.   The effects of volunteering more The percentage of volunteers who reported gaining specific skills as a result of volunteering increased steadily with the number of hours they contributed. For example, over three quarters (78%) of volunteers who contributed 188 or more hours during 2000 reported gaining communication skills, compared to just over half (52%) of those who contributed 19 hours or less. Similar, but less pronounced, patterns are seen with other skills. Job skills as a motivation to volunteer Volunteering is often seen as an opportunity to acquire job related skills and improve job opportunities. Almost one quarter (23%) of volunteers said that they volunteered for this reason. The desire to improve job opportunities is a much more common motivation for volunteering among younger and unemployed volunteers than it is among other volunteers. Over half (55%) of volunteers aged 15 to 24 said that they volunteered to improve their job opportunities. This dropped to 27% among those aged 25 to 34. Forty-two percent* of unemployed volunteers gave this reason for volunteering, compared to only 22% of volunteers who were employed or not in t   There are 1 additional comments. #1 Posted by Dr. sunil kumar prajapati on 2/28/2007 i dont agree with some of the statements as, we get to see more dicsiplined society if we are educated . and it is very phenomenal that the method of gaining knolede has changed a lot have rather we have much better educated socity than before although the less care given to the children is a bad side effect but this is not unversall ,than of course we have to weigh good vs bad   Send your news items to be posted to news@prajapati-samaj.ca.
