“Volunteering at WERS gives me so much satisfaction as I could speak to so many people from different places of this lovely planet. Sharing kindness and care with those who need it most is a great thing in life.”

“Before I knew WERS and my befriender, and started volunteering delivering WERS food parcels… I didn’t feel like I had a lot to live for because of my many bad experiences in the past; you have all given me a sense of humanity, a connection, a chance to give back and contribute…”
