What are some advantages disadvantages of ngo?

Answer 1

i am red cross member, I've been into this organization for 2 years and i think time came to quit .i don't know if I'm ready for this decision,but i know that red cross took a lot from me. Being a volunteer in this NGO took time from me.It took away many activities that i wanted to share with my family and friends..i sacrificed a lot ..making these sacrifices at an early age,making lots of friendships ,making this big commitment and meeting my ex-bf there and then another boy and other boy who soon expressed their crush on me....the whole situation became very broad,it seemed that red cross became my life,maybe i didn't know how to make the balance between red cross and my life.

I don't and can't ignore the advantages of red cross and its beautiful impact on me; however looking back at my last year events made me think twice about my choices..i paid the price,i've been into depression,i was at the point of failing my class....all that beacuse i made red cross my priority,i reached a point where i offered red cross more than it was offering me,i was giving more than i was recieving,i was so attached to it.

my parents,my sisters and couselor blamed red cross,but i wasent able to see it that way..maybe till now im nt able to do soo,but i cant wait any longer...i cant postpon my priorities ,i cant sacrifice my time,i have to act,im in my final year at high school ,i made a progress but i am more aware of my choices...i want to have the courage of quiting red cross and not looking back and rehgretting,i want to be able of telling my experience....i still want to spread my message,a message of peace to my community..but i want to make it in another way,another manner ....
