Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in Calcutta. 　　“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.” 1.
