Is Volunteering Good for Health?
2

• Volunteering is considered good for your mental
  as well as physical health. By investing your
  time and efforts for a noble cause you are not
  only helping the helpless but also improving your
  overall well-being. Studies in this regard have
  revealed that volunteering helps keep mental
  health issues like depression away and you are
  less likely to feel lonely. The benefits dont
  stop here. It has been found that volunteers
  above the age of 50 are having reduced chances of
  developing high blood pressure when compared to
  those who are not volunteers. This benefit can be
  because of the fact that as a volunteer, a person
  will have to engage in a number of activities
  that require physical movement.
• There are a number of different causes for which
  you can volunteer. If you are from a developed
  country, you can always choose to extend your
  help to under-privileged fellow humans in
  developing countries. Afro Edge lets you do just
  that! They welcome volunteers for community
  development in Zimbabwe along with offering
  adventure filled moments to everyone.

• The team at Afro Edge is also in search for
  volunteers for childcare in Zimbabwe. In case you
  are in the medical field or have some kind of
  expertise in the field, you can turn into a
  volunteer for HIV/AIDS support in Zimbabwe.
• Volunteering is beneficial for the mental and
  physical health of a person. It reduces the risk
  of depression and keeps blood pressure normal.
  You can volunteer for a number of causes at Afro
  Edge.
