Now I'd like to tell you what some of our volunteers have said about what they do, to give you an idea of the range of ways in which they can help people.
现在我想告诉大家我们的一些志愿者对他们自己做的事情有什么感想，以此给大家一些他们帮助别人的不同方式的想法。
Habib supports an elderly lady who's beginning to show signs of dementia. Once a week they, along with other elderly people, go to the local community centre, where a group of people come in and sing. The songs take the listeners back to their youth, and for a little while they can forget the difficulties that they face now.
Habib帮助一个开始出现老年痴呆症状的老太太。每周一次他们都会和其他的老人一起去当地的社区中心，很多人会参加，一起唱歌。这些歌曲让听众回到了年轻时代，他们可以短暂地忘记目前面对的困难。
Our volunteer Consuela is an amazing woman. She has difficulty walking herself, but she doesn't let that stop her. She helps a couple of people with similar difficulties, who had almost stopped walking altogether. By using herself as an example. Consuela encourages them to walk more and more.
我们的志愿者Consuela是位超赞的女性。她自己本身有行走困难，但是她并没有让这个问题阻碍她。她帮助很多有同样问题的人，他们曾经完全放弃了行走。通过自己作为一个例子，Consuela鼓励他们多一点行走。
Minh visits a young man who lives alone and can't leave his home on his own, so he hardly ever saw anyone. But together they go out to the cinema, or to see friends the young man hadn't been able to visit for a long time.
Minh会去拜访一个独居的年轻男士，他不能自己离开房子，所以他很少见到其他人。但是他们会一起去电影院，或者是去见这个年轻男人很长时间不能去见的朋友。
Tanya visits an elderly woman once a week. When the woman found out that Tanya is a professional dressmaker, she got interested. Tanya showed her some soft toys she'd made, and the woman decided to try it herself. And now she really enjoys it, and spends hours making toys. They're not perhaps up to Tanya's standard yet, but she gains a lot of pleasure from doing it.
Tanya每周会去看一个老年女性。当这位女性发现Tanya是一个职业裁缝，她表示非常感兴趣。Tanya给她看了她自己做的毛绒玩具，这位女士决定自己也试一下。现在她非常喜欢这个活动，花很长时间做玩具。它们可能并不会达到Tanya的标准，但是她从中收获了很多乐趣。
Alexei is a volunteer with a family that faces a number of difficulties. By calmly talking over possible solutions with family members, he's helping them to realise that they aren't helpless, and that they can do something themselves to improve their situation. This has been great for their self-esteem.
Alexei给面临着很多问题的一个家庭做志愿。通过和家庭成员平静地谈论可能的解决措施，他帮助他们意识到他们并不是完全无助的，他们可以自己做些事情来提升他们的生存处境。这对他们的自尊心非常有益。
And the last volunteer I'll mention, though there are plenty more, is Juba. She volunteers with a teenage girl with learning difficulties, who wasn't very good at talking to other people. Juba's worked very patiently with her, and now the girl is far better at expressing herself, and at understanding other people.
尽管还有很多志愿者，我提到的最后一个是Juba。她为一个有学习障碍的女孩提供志愿服务。她不擅长和别人交谈。Juba非常有耐心和和她共处，现在这个女孩在表达自己和理解他人的方面已经有了很大的提升。
OK, I hope that's given you an idea of what volunteering is all about. Now I'd like...
好的，我希望这能够给你们一些志愿活动是什么的大致想法。现在我想....
