Dear Mary,
Today I will tell you about my volunteer work. The volunteer work has become popular in
Vietnam. Many people have done the volunteer work and I have too. At my age, I can't donate
blood so I often donate books, toys and clothes to street children and homeless people. I often do

I met the children not having parents there. They were so lovely. I played with them and they
were so happy. Some people think that doing volunteer work is waste of time but in my opinion,
it helps me relax after school and I feel very happy to bring happiness to them.
