Volunteering for Accountant

I was reading an article about one volunteer who recently participated in one of the programs organized by Accounting for International Development, with great interest.

Off late, it has been my interest to be involved in this type of activities, as a way of me giving back to the society. I have been involved in other type of volunteering activities in Doha, Qatar but not not related to my profession as an accountant or shall I say specifically my skills as an accountant. So, the article really come at the right time. However, I have the same doubts about myself whether I can actually doing it ? a lot of things are going on in my mind while the clock is tickling "tik tok tik tok" . However, I shall make at least the first move by contacting the opportunity to start and be part of them. While people are on their summer vacation or enjoying the beach, why not I am to be part of the programs right ? Why shall I hesitate if it is something for good cause ? Right ?

In a country gripped by intractable poverty the weakest are the hardest hit, perhaps nobody is more vulnerable than the youngest and disabled. Deafness is one of the most severe and least recognized disabilities. When ears are injured or permanently harmed it can cause lifelong damage. The effects, especially on children, can be devastating. In children it impairs development of language and speech which in turn can dramatically slow progress in education. In adults it causes vocational and economic difficulties. While in the elderly it leads to loneliness and neglect. All Ears Cambodia was created not merely to provide essential medical help but because it is a basic human right for all children and adults to be free to live in health, peace and dignity. It is the only aid organization providing ear and hearing medical services for all Cambodians from newborns to the elderly. It prides itself on its ability to build partnerships with government bodies and institutes, hospitals and schools, and the communities in which people live. All Ears Cambodia focuses on the weakest and hardest hit. Target groups include:

Profoundly deaf children

Deaf-blind children

Orphans

Children infected with HIV

Former child labourers

Street children

Victims of domestic violence, or trafficking and prostitution

Poor communities within regions without any access to specialist health care
