volunteer
I've never really done any volunteer work my whole life...and I'm going to start in 2008.
I've held jobs which were a positive influence on the world by exposing evil, crime, corruption, etc... but I've never really done anything for free. I also make pretty good money and generally donate only about $1000 annually to the united way.
In '08, I'm planning to start by participating in a voluteer project in South Africa for 2 weeks (which will cost me about $2500)... and it's a great cause.
I'm also looking at local organizations to get active in as well.
Gavin.
