My days in GIVES


    I’ve always wanted to be a volunteer since I was in elementary school, but didn’t really find any chance. It is the main reason that I chose to join GIVES. Though other clubs also appealed to me a lot, I put GIVES as my primary choice without a thought. I really glad I made that choice.
    At first, I was shocked by the incredibly large information that Teacher Sylvia gave us. I realized that volunteering is much more complicated than simply sweeping the floor. Planning the project, organizing the team, raising money and more were all we had to learn. It really was not easy, but the great sense of fulfillment was worth it. I must admit that I lost my passion and willpower sometimes, however my partners helped me through all the tasks.
    I will not give up on my volunteer career, and will always do my best to help anyone in need.
