Abstract	During the 2022 and 2023 school year, a group of eight college professors, 67 university education students, 27 primary school teachers and principals, and 200 primary school students participated together in a project titled, The Caravan of Friendship and Games. During the year, students suggested that they should also work with the elderly. Consequently, the project team added visitation to facilities for the elderly which included 240 elderly people. From the analysis of the survey data, the professor team realized that volunteering was not only beneficial to young students and the elderly people, but the data also revealed that the volunteers (university professors, university students, primary school teachers and principals) benefited from their efforts in the project. Showing once again that when people volunteer, they enter into a reciprocal beneficiary relationship--that one might call the ultimate win-win situation. (As Provided).
