Dear Sir/Madam
Re: Research proposal: Why do People Volunteer Work.
I am currently associated with UNISA where I am an honours student in Psychology. I have special interest in why do people volunteer work due to some volunteer work I am doing with a home called Botshabelo and an organisation called Stop Hunger SA. I have attached a proposal for further research in this field.
The reasons for approaching you is because I will need funding which I will use to carry out study and for ethical approval for my study.
I hope to hear from you soon.

It has come to attention that the quality of voluntary work varies as a result of the intention behind volunteering. The aim of this research is to discuss the factors that motivate people to volunteer work. In so doing the research will also point out how these factors affect the outcomes of the voluntary work. Moreover the research will focus on the three
