Abstract
Undoubtedly, people are connected, in one way or another. Moreover, these connections can sometimes be more paramount than others, in terms of affective, material, and social values (Carsten 2000). Not all profound relationships are genealogical, however, but some can be as influentially significant. This chapter is interested in how the volunteers are connected to one another with bonds of solidarity rooted in familiarity, trust, a common aim, but also a common rite of passage into volunteering that estotation a person’s authority within the volunteering scene and their personal spiritual maturity, among other things.
