Câu hỏi: Do you often help kids? How?
I wouldn’t say often, because most of my daily life revolves around working and dealing with either adults or teenagers. And as a matter of fact, I’m not a father yet. That being said, if I ever saw a kid who was in trouble like not being able to find his or her parents, I would love to help in any way I can. I just can't seem to avert my eyes from a crying child.

Câu hỏi: Should parents teach helping others to their children?
Yes, helping provides children the opportunity to grow up to be a better person. Making them feel good early on in life about helping others will build up their character. They will later on discover that life is indeed more fulfilling if they can make a difference in this world. At the same time, being exposed to helping the less fortunate will help them to be humble instead of thinking too highly of themselves. They will also learn to be more sensitive to the needs of others rather than being too preoccupied with what will only benefit them.

Câu hỏi: Who benefits more from the volunteer services, the volunteers or the people helped?
Both parties can benefit. Volunteers will gain a sense of solidarity and achievement, while those who are helped can receive physical, mental, and financial support. I guess it’s more important for underprivileged people, as help from others sometimes can lift them out of poverty and change their life tremendously.
