Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up. Or repair houses, do their shopping and mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an    called Big Brothers. College students and other    take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and    them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.
Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, the museums or other       of interest.

Volunteers believe that some of the      people in the world are those who help to bring happiness. Helping others brings them much pleasure.
