Helping others is a great virtue. It can bring warmth and hope to people around us. Last month, our school organised a special volunteer activity to help poor children in a small village far away. We were all excited to take part in it and wanted to do something meaningful for them. These children lived in poor families and couldn't afford many books, pens or other school things that we often take for granted.
When we arrived there, we saw many lovely children waiting for us. They looked so 1 but excited to see us. Their clothes were old and simple, and some of them didn't have proper shoes to wear, but their eyes were full of hope and curiosity about the outside world. We felt a little sad when we saw their living conditions, but we became more determined to 2 them as much as we could. I was in a group with two of my classmates. We prepared many gifts for the children, such as storybooks, colour pencils, notebooks and other school things. First, we helped them clean their small and old classroom. It was dirty and messy before, but we worked together carefully and made it tidy 3 an hour. The classroom looked clean and bright soon. Then, I helped a little girl named Lily with her English. She was very shy and was afraid to speak English in front of others. I taught her some simple words and sentences 4 and encouraged her to speak aloud bravely. Slowly, she became brave and started to talk with me in English happily. My classmates helped other children draw beautiful pictures and told them interesting and funny stories. We also played some simple games with them, and their sweet laughter filled the whole classroom. It was a 5 moment that I would never forget in my life.
Before we left, the children gave us some beautiful handmade cards to show their thanks. They drew lovely pictures and wrote warm words on them. Their smiles were the brightest thing I had ever seen. I felt a strong sense of 6 because I could do something useful to help them. This experience taught me that even small acts of kindness can 7 others' lives. It also made me realise that we should cherish what we have and try our best to help those in need.
From then on, I often take part in different volunteer activities. I believe that helping others not only makes them happy but also makes myself 8. It is a great and meaningful thing that everyone should do. Let's work together to make the world a 9 place full of love. No matter how small our help is, it can bring hope and warmth to those who are in 10.
