Volunteering is a practical application of philosophy. In his book The Laws, Plato recommended volunteering for young people. All of NA’s activities in the different programmes are carried out by volunteers.

• Humanitarian and Social Volunteering Actions 
  • Collections and deliveries of food, clothes, teaching materials, products for children and toys
  • Humanitarian assistance in emergency situations
  • Bringing culture and kindness to homes for the elderly and children

If we can’t find anything that’s worthwhile, there is no better constructive criticism than to get to work on what we believe to be good and possible. Setting a good example continues to be the best of teachings, the best demonstration and the most polished argument.
