My name is Konstantin Fridman, I am an active volunteer in Minsk Jewish organizations. I can't say that I had a specific reason why I started volunteering, but most likely it was hereditary - my parents were also active members of the community. Since childhood, I was taught to treat people as I would like to be treated, and this became the basis of my life and work. I am a very sociable and outgoing person, and therefore volunteering for me is a pleasure. Although not everyone may enjoy volunteering as a main activity, I am sure that the emotions and gratitude that I receive from the people I help are the best rewards for my efforts. I advise everyone to try to participate in any of the volunteer programs, as my grandmother, parents and now myself recommended it to me. Who knows, maybe you will find your calling in this and become active volunteers like me!

Hello, my name is Yulia Meikshans. Although I officially received the "volunteer" status relatively recently, volunteering has been in my blood since the beginning of my conscious life!
From a young age, I joined various volunteer movements. I helped anyone who needed support. I fed animals, collected gift sets for children in orphanages, and tried to provide help wherever it was necessary.
Over time, the "scale" of my volunteer activities changed. By becoming a volunteer at the Jewish center, I gained the opportunity to help a large number of people. This can be financial support or tangible physical assistance. There are always those who need help right now, and I am ready to provide it!
It saddens me that our society operates on the principle of "every man for himself," but I am happy to see that there are people who disagree with this. These are volunteers who have decided to dedicate a significant part of their lives to helping those in need. Now I am part of a big and friendly family, and together we are changing our society for the better, making it kinder and more responsive to the problems of others!
I am confident that each of you also has a volunteer spirit that will inevitably lead you to volunteer work!
