A typical Volunteer Welfare Organisation (VWO) welcomes volunteers who wish to extend a helping hand to the less fortunate, alleviate the pain and suffering of the needy, and allow them to live their lives to the full. Some volunteer opportunities package activities like:
Providing tuition to primary school students
Assisting in after-school care for children
Befriending elderly residents
Engaging in recreational activities for the elderly
For free. No obligation or hidden agenda involved, the objectives are strictly led by the heart. For funding purposes, donations, from pockets of the volunteers or supportive third parties, pay the bills.
The National Council of Social Services (NCSS) now wants to get a firmer grip on the VWOs.
