The co-founder of the Mpakaboari LongJohn Foundation (MLJ FDN), Patience Mpakabori LongJohn, has revealed her plans to give back to the community.
According to Patience Mpaka, donating your time to support those around you is extremely beneficial, both for you and your community.
“It is statistically proven that people who volunteer regularly are healthier both physically and mentally. Individuals who have volunteered throughout their lifetime typically live longer and have better psychological well-being,” Mpaka said.
“In addition to the health benefits, volunteering gives people a sense of purpose. The fulfilling feeling of giving back and contributing to society is unparalleled,” she added.
Mpaka further urged other people who are passionate about advocacy, animal rights, or helping the homeless, to find a way to continue their work.
“There are so many important causes out there that always need volunteers to support the work they’re doing. Whether you’re passionate about advocacy, animal rights, or helping the homeless, you can find a valuable way to donate your time.
Many towns and cities have community centers, which can be a great place to find opportunities to give back to the place you call home,” Mpaka advised.
