# 🌍 Volunteer at a hospital for a year

Mostly directions, tea, and sitting with patients whose families cannot get there. Weekly shifts, and nothing about it photographs well.

## How you would actually start

- Check whether the promise holds

“Mostly directions, tea, and sitting with patients whose families cannot get there. Weekly shifts, and nothing about it photographs well.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.

- Find the small version first

There is almost always a one-afternoon version. Do that before committing money or telling anyone.

- Put it somewhere you will see it

An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
