Question

What kind of voluntary activities have you taken part in so far?

Answer 1

When it comes to this topic, which is about one volunteer campaign that I joined, the first thing that pops into my head is the one helping disabled children when I was in grade 10. At that time, I remember that I just had the final result of what high school I would study. When I knew, I immediately join in the social club at that school just because I wanted to make more friends. I have to admit that I did not know anything about that club. After the first meeting, I understood what their objectives were. They tried to help everyone having tragic life by raising money. They sold clothes, snacks, or even study materials to others, and then all the funds would be used a hundred per cent in the next voluntary activity. Then, one day, the club leader found one charity house where a lot of kids stay and learn. Everything seemed normal, but all of them did not have good health conditions, such as eye-related, limb-related problems or even mental disorders. When I heard about their situation, I felt sorry for them. I thought that this world was not fair for everyone to have the same life. As a result, I was always ready for helping them. My team divided the task into loads of segments, and I was in charge of buying food for them. I do not know what other people wanted to buy, but I have seen that most of them bought candies. Unlike them, I believed that sweets were not suitable for children, albeit delicious. After a one-day discussion, I decided to purchase milk and fruits that are always the best choice for our physical and mental health. Finally, when that day came, I arrived there really soon as I did not want them to wait for me. For the first time that I saw them in person, I actually burst into tears a lot. They kept asking me to tell the story, hug them, and cuddle them. Then one of them asked me about their parents; I was too stunned to speak. I had to talk about another story for them to forget about it. After playing together, it was time to go home. I saw that they did not want to say goodbye. I just hugged them and promised that I would come back soon. Therefore, until now, I still go there every month. Seeing them is like a motivation that helps me work harder in life so that I can create a better environment for them to grow.
