It's my turn.
This is my first time participating in an overseas voluntary project, thus I am pretty excited about it. I can't wait to leave for Vietnam!
Like they say,‘it's not the destination but the journey that matters’. Through this project, I have learnt valuable life lessons and also not forgetting those lovable friends I have made.(sounds like pw?!)
For the past few months, we have been working with different charitable organizations and meeting people of all kinds (mainly kids from less fortunate families and those that are intellectually disabled). These have made me step out of my comfort zone and look at the world from a different perspective. Leaning a helping hand to them, create a miracle in their lives, make them feel loved and most important of all prevent that smile on their face from fading.
In addition, these activities have also strengthened our bonds as a team. VOICE is no longer estranged like before where people only mingle with their own clique of friends. At present, it is one big happy family (:
Now, we have reached the final lap:
Spread our love,
Touch their hearts and
Inspire the lives of the kids in Vietnam.
I am sure we will all do a terrific job over there because I have confidence in each and everyone of us. So people, let's not allow our efforts and preparation of the past few months go to waste. We shall unite our power to make this project a success and leave behind wonderful memories that will be etched in our hearts forever!
