 The citizens of Selfless Victorians are being recognised as part of National Volunteer Week. Sarah Arbo caught up with a CFA firefighter who has a unique way of combining his day job with his passion. A passion for teaching... Good morning, great Sikhs. Morning, Mr Jay. ...and a passion for serving his community. BOOING Ben Griffiths lives two lives and wouldn't have it any other way. And it's been one of those journeys that I've just done because it makes a difference. It's been part of who I am. For 22 years, he's been a CFA volunteer, the Dramana captain, a role which requires him to be on call. For 17 years, he's been a great Sikhs teacher at Dramana Primary School and his students know the drill when his pager beckons at least once a week. BEEPS Five groups? Five groups grade six. Please grab your things and split. In groups of five, they join other classes. But the teacher's inspirational volunteer work wouldn't be possible without the support of his school. They have a great role model to see in the future, you know, their potential for volunteering, whether it's the CFA or somewhere else. He's pretty generous and I've... If I reckon he's actually pretty cool, I reckon I might do it one day. One and a half million Victorians volunteer each year. In the CFA alone, there are more than 44,000 men and women who donate their time. Along with his team, Ben hopes to continue leading a double life for some time yet. Sarah Arbo, 10 News.
