I do not have volunteerism experience but my best friend, Ayden does. He makes videos online and posts them on the internet helping to raise awareness for the starving children. Sometimes, he will make vidoes of himself animating and playing video games for the audience to donate some money. When a certain amount of money was donated, he will where a cosplay to show his appreciation and thank everyone profusely. He will also donate some clothes every few days to charity so that little  children can be happy. When Yakun and ray of hope had a toy donation drive, he carried many many boxes to my friends and my house, asking if we could go together so that less fortunate children can experience the happiness we got to enjoy but they didn't especially after the covid19 where there were many pay cuts.

I did not volunteer before but I did help my neighbour before.
I  remember there was once I saw my elderly neighbour struggling with bags of groceries, without hesitation, I went to her and help her carried the bags of groceries. It is quite convenient as I am living the same level as her, so I went to help her put the bags of groceries on the floor.
After doing so, she thank me, I said goodbye to her and went back to my own house with full of the joys of spring.

A few years ago,I was at the hawker  centre having lunch. After lunch I decided to take public transport home. I still remember the bus was coming in 3 minutes so I decided to walk quickly to the bus stop.But an old auntie , about 60-70years old was in my way. I tried to move to the other side but the corridor was too small. I was really annoyed as the old auntie was walking slowly so I decided to squeeze through the corridor. Since it was too small, I accidentally bumped into the old auntie. All the groceries she was carrying fell on the floor. I turned around, apologised and started picking up the things that were on the floor. I even offered to pay for some of the broken items as well as helping her carry some of her groceries to the mrt station. In the end, the old lady forgave me and thanked me for helping her.

A few months ago, I saw an old lady carrying a few plastic bags full of groceries. Then suddenly, a man ran past her and accidentally hit her and knocked her down and all her groceries dropped. Without hesitation, I ran towards her and helped her up and went to pick up her groceries. The old lady thanked me for helping her.

Some time ago, my mother and I were in an MRT station when we saw an old lady approaching us. She had a handful of tissues in her hand and was wanting to sell some to us. My mom dug out a ten dollar note from her bag and refused to take the tissues. She explained to me later on in the day that if she had more tissues, she would hopefully be able to sell more of them and receive more money.

About a month ago, I was walking home with my mother. While we were walking, I saw an old man sitting down and begging for people to give him some money to buy food but most of them just ignored him while some people gave him some money so when I walked by him, I asked my mother if I could give a $100 but she told that she didn't that kind of people who beg for money so that they could order "food" but after I was able to persuade her, she gave me the $100 bill and I ran to the old man and gave it to him .when he saw the $100 bill, he was shocked and thanked me for it. After that day, My mother was proud that I would donate money to those who need it.

One evening, as I went out to buy groceries, I espied some people in the corridor talking to some of my neighbours. Curious, I went over to take a closer look and noticed that they were asking them for any canned food or old clothes they could donate to poorer families. Although some people refused to donate anything, it still moved me greatly that the volunteers were using their time and energy to help the needy, even though they knew they could not elicit people to donate. This experience makes me want to try volunteering in the future.

Despite having not been in any volunteerism activity, i remember watching the news about a small group of teenagers and young adults who were giving out free care packs to healthcare workers. Seeing them going the extra mile to help and taking the initiative to help the healthcare workers is very moving. I think we need to be more like those people because even one person can make a change in someone else's life.

My extended family, my family and I did volunteer before. Every year, we would go to Myanmar and give offering to monks. It always takes place in December. My extended family will always give offering to at least 500 monks every December. We would give them some money, pens, notebooks, tooth brush, tooth paste, medicine, food and all the necessary items. My aunt would also call nuns and feed them food in her house next to her big house where she stays. Believe it or not, most of the nuns where very young, from ages 6 to 15! After giving offerings to the monks and nuns, we might have some food, medicine, money and more stuff left. My family were planning to just leave it in the storage room. However, I told them to go and give the items and food to the homeless on the streets or to the less fortunate. They think it was actually a great idea and did what i told them. Giving food and necessary items to the homeless and the less fortunate made them happy. Some of them were smiling and crying in tears of joy. They were actually thinking if they were even going to eat or starve at night. However, after I gave them the items and food, they were delighted. I was so happy to them. If i had the chance to do it again, I would definitely help the less fortunate.

I have not volunteer for anything before, but i have seen some people at HDB or on the television donating food to the elderly if they can't afford any. Seeing adults or
even young teenagers donating food or clothes to the elderly makes me that not all people are selfish. Some people might travel long distances to the nursing home or the orphanage just to help others. They may also use their own money to buy ingredients or food for the nursing homes or orphanages. I believe these people just want to make someones life better.

During one of my visits to Clementi, I spotted a visually handicapped elderly lady in a wheelchair in front of one of the shops with a basket full of tissue paper packets on her lap. It was disappointing to see that nobody stopped by and bought her tissue packets. After seeing that, I took pity for her and decided to approach her. I asked her courteously if I could purchase her tissue paper. She nodded her head and asked me for one dollar. Instead of paying one dollar, I gave her a two-dollar note. She thanked me, and I left, hoping that more people would approach and help her. I felt gratified for helping her with a small act of kindness.

On one particular day, my family and I were having lunch at the hawker centre. Then, a middle-aged woman approached us. She was hobbling with a walking stick. She was selling some pens for $2 and wanted us to purchase one. My family deemed at her condition and waved her off. She hesitated and went on to the next table, the next and the next. Unfortunately, none of the people wanted to purchase her pens. I could see disappointment in her eyes when she dawdled past. Unable to bear the guilt, I hastily asked my mother for some money. After explaining to her, she sympathise with me and gave a $2 note. I looked around but did not see that woman. From that day onwards, I learnt to not judge people by their appearance when you do not know about what had happened before.

I have not volunteered for any charities before but I do sometimes donate a small sum of money to fund-raising organisations. There was once my family had some extra food after moving houses. We decided to give some to our neighbors who were elderly. They were touched we had come back to our old home just to give them some extra food we had. we also had visited their home after we moved just to check in with them and eat together. It was a great time to see them again despite living far from each other now. Although my family cannot visit them again due to the pandemic and restrictions, we hope that our old neighbors are still doing well.

I do not have an experience in charity work but I have seen multiple people online putting up a donation site to help the needy. There was once me and my family decided to help to distribute food to  households living near the Buona Vista community centre. It was during the period of Hari Raya and the Buona Vista community centre was distributing food to some nearby blocks for the Hari Raya celebration. When we finished distributing the food,I felt exhausted and just wanted to lay on my bed for the rest of the day, but I was totally proud of myself for just distributing to some households. I’d met some pretty nice people but also the ones who are rude. Either way,I was astonished by how fast the food was delivered.Around 50 packets in less than an hour.

I have encountered a volunteering work that was supposed to be a chance for me but I regretted not taking it. When I was taking the bus home from school, when I entered at the bus and sat at my seat, there was a old lady struggling to get on the bus. Dharaani was behind her and we waited for 5-8 seconds. Then I nearly went to help her when Dharaani went to help her get on the bus. I felt dissapointed because I did not take the chance for volunteering to help others. I now help people when I see the chance to.

I still remember when my family signed up for a campaign to go to Indonesia and give food to the needy. During that experience, I learnt a lot of new things that led me to appreciate the little things that I have.

During that experience, I realized just how many people were in need of food and money, yet they could appreciate the little things they had, like having a roof over their heads (which were just small huts made of straw/plastic), or having family members they can rely on. Having been unappreciative of what I had at that point of time, did I realize how lucky I was to even have a source of education while thinking that school was unnecessary. I also realized that giving could give me more happiness than anything else.

I hope that after this pandemic ends, my family and I would be able to take part in these meaningful campaigns again.
