High school students need to complete 40-hour volunteer work because it is mandatory, but 13-year-old Harnoor Gill has given a new meaning to it. The Stewarttown Middle School, Georgetown, student has been volunteering since he was three years old. Today he is in Grade 8 and has already contributed more than 1,000 hours to the community. "The 40-hour community work is just a starting point and not the end," Gill told Focus. "I do not want youth of my community to start thinking about it in Grade 9, instead they can start volunteering at an earlier stage." Dedicating after school hours and weekends, Gill has been playing an important role as a youth volunteer leader by raising environmental awareness of biodiversity, youth matters and fundraising events. |
