HEAR FROM OUR VOLUNTEERS!

I joined Community Dabao in 2019 as a volunteer cook to help prepare meals for other seniors. This was a very memorable and joyful experience as I made many new friends and learnt new recipes from others at the REACH Senior Centre. The place already feels like a second home! I also participated and contributed to numerous other activities, including floral arrangements, crotchet classes, and delivering goodie bags to low-income families during Chinese New Year. I even brought my husband to join me in volunteering.

Volunteering is truly a joy because connecting with others brings great meaning to me. My experiences here have brightened my life. I spend most of my time here and I am happy.

I took part in a one-year youth mentoring programme, in hopes to interact with the youths and provide them with a safe space to express their thoughts and what they are going through in life. It has been a fulfilling volunteering experience for me. I had the opportunity to journey with my mentees and understand what they are going through. I also shared my personal journey when I was growing up as a teenager, which allowed them to be more comfortable and open, and realized that they aren't alone in this journey. Apart from building relationships with the youths, I also had made some new friends with fellow mentors and youth workers in REACH Youth Service.

As a volunteer photographer, I managed to involve myself in the community while doing something I loved. I helped on the third day of Chinese New Year, when REACH went around Bukit Batok to distribute festive gift packs. It was heartening to see people from all walks of life come together to help spread the festive cheer and bring supplies and smiles to the underprivileged. The experience was eye-opening as I got the chance to see how the event unfolded from start to finish and follow volunteers around the rental flats. It is true that to give is also to receive. I was initially apprehensive about volunteering, but it was a very fulfilling experience. I felt proud to be part of something bigger than myself and had a lot of fun meeting new people.
