, INTRODUCTION
This research project is a qualitative study, which includes interviews of three
individuals, who currently do volunteer work. The crux of this study is to gather
data and research about the question of what motivates people to do volunteer
work. These participants were not compelled to do this work, but do it purely out
of their own choice.
All the participants complied with characteristics of a volunteer as well as
volunteerism. These fundamental aspects contributed to the soundness of all the
interviews that was conducted.

Participant A
A.1 Brief description of participant
Miss SS is a 31 year old, vibrant red head who lives in the south side of
Johannesburg. She grew up in this rocky town and has been living there ever
since. She is still fortunate to have both her parents in her life, and is the second
youngest of four children. Both her older siblings live abroad. She currently has a
degree in Bachelors of Education and would like to start a new degree in Applied
Psychology in the near future. This curly locked lady is engaged and soon to be
married in the New Year. Her hazel eyes speak the language of kindness and
openness towards her teaching career, where she educates children in their
foundation years. She lives an active life, by dancing and playing netball and has
been doing this since she was only 7 years old. She is also actively involved in
her church community, as she is a Sunday school teacher. Her parents are also
involved with the church as her father was a former pastor and her mother is
also a Sunday school coordinator. Working with children has always been her
passion and finds her interaction with children and young people as a blessing,
as she strives to molds and shapes them into the best people they can be.
