Volunteer Answered
I have done a lot of volunteers work , and attracted about 50-60 students of my class to join and it was about a bird freedom day , where we have to create awareness among people about there lives as will .The organizers of this event as a bank manager , so he asked for some school student support ... and all that. I was connected with this organization for about 6 month . But the real problem is that I have lost my certificate, I have nothing to show on my portfolio as a volunteer work . Should I mention this anyway . or just let it go and do another activity .Please explain it briefly

Most universities dont really ask you to upload a certificate. That being said, don't think about lying on the application for this reason because that will be very very risky and wrong.
As for your activity, it depends. If you feel it was an activity that you were interested in or something you deeply cared about then you can continue to do it. (MAYBE even write an essay on it in your application later) But don't do an activity simply to collect certificates. So if this volunteer work was meaningful and thorough, it will be relevant in your application.
