Dimensions of the voluntary service of disabled students in the social environment
Keywords:
student voluntary, disabled volunteer students, activitiesAbstract
The notion of student voluntary service involves charitable activity for those needing performed by all volunteers interested in it, including disabled students. This paper focuses on participation in the voluntary service of this group of students and the level of their commitment on an everyday basis. The disabled students who regularly perform their daily charitable activity are aware that their contribution to the environment is voluntary, selfless, useful, permanent and internally deliberate. The paper presents the author's findings concerning the participation of both able-bodied and disabled volunteer students in activities for those in need. The obtained findings provide the basis for the conviction that in most cases disabled students through participation in student voluntary service gain personal satisfaction, better results in social re-adaptation, and the quality of their activities is not at all different from the quality of able-bodied students' work.
