Each child gets a book to take back home and the books are provided by publishing houses. Academic mentoring - The academic program can again be organized by localities, or by individual schools. Mentoring is also a simple way of returning to society the fruits of our own learning. Assisting at shelters - Shelters are typically huge halls, where the homeless or the very poor come in to have food or to sleep at night. Bedding and food is provided by volunteers from donations.
Food is served by volunteers and provided by various hotels or sponsored by companies.
Festivities - Often, building communities even when there is no crisis makes it easier to work together when there is one. Festivities to celebrate particular events are a good way to practice the togetherness of the community. Communities can organise a group which will organise social activities for the main festivals. Volunteers can help put up lights, organize stalls, decorate etc. During larger gatherings, volunteers can also help in crowd management, by providing timely information and first aid where needed.
