Some other children like Nathan White,10，have personal reasons for volunteering.Nathan’s grandmother died of a heart attack.To help raise money for medical research，Nathan participated in Jump Rope for Heart.He and five other boys took turns jumping rope for two and half hours and collected more than US $1,200 in donations for the American Heart Association. Millions of children around the globe lend a hand to their communities every year.Schools and parents also contribute to the rise in youth service.For example，many schools offer community service activities for students to join.Teachers either combine volunteer work with classroom lessons or make service work a requirement.Parents，on the other hand，encourage their kids to volunteer and do it with them. Community service is particularly important in this depression time.As the need for monetary support and other aid has increased，many charitable organizations have experienced a significant drop in donations.Camille and other children who volunteer thousands of hours annually can fill in some of the gaps. According to research，kids who start volunteering are twice as likely to continue doing good deeds when they are adults.So，grab a paintbrush，a trash bag，or whatever you need to help your community.You’ll love how you feel after helping others.Even dirty work can be lots of fun，if it’s for a good cause. 【解题导语】 志愿者活动是一件于人于己都很有意义的事情，小孩子通过社区或其他机构参加志愿者活动，不但可以培养他们合作的意识、乐于助人的品质，更重要的是可以让他们拥有一颗关爱别人的心。 1．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?
