64 / s i xty- four Many Families Choose to Volunteer Different ages, interests and schedules can make it difficult for families to agree on common projects. But volunteering as a family is a great way to share activities and get everyone on the same page. "My sister is in a group called The Visitors. Once a month they visit old people at a care home next to their school. The old people can’t walk so much anymore, but they can talk and joke and tell stories and they play card and board games together. Next year, I’ll also join." Ellis "My parents and I help in a shelter for homeless people. There are a lot of people in our town who don’t have a place to live. Last year, I helped at a Christmas party at the shelter. I helped to make sweets and cookies for everyone, and I wrapped up some presents for the kids. We had a great dinner and played games for hours – I think I had even more fun than them!" Austin "It’s important to help those who are vulnerable and cannot take care of themselves. During the lockdown in the Corona Crisis, where everyone had to be careful not to be infected, my mom and I helped our elderly neighbours who had to stay inside. We picked up groceries and went to the pharmacy to get medicine. I also cooked a few meals. I left a homemade pizza outside their house."
