Volunteer Experience

Posted 5/2/21 5:10 PM

My dad asked me to volunteer with our local Meals On Wheels when I was 15. We volunteered every Friday evening. We delivered hot meals to elderly people in our town who were unable to make their own food. I really enjoyed it. The experience made me think a lot more about other people and their needs.

At the age of 16, I volunteered with African Elephant Research Unit at Knysna Elephant Park. Every Saturday, my parents sent me to the park. There, prepared their food, and took notes on elephant behavior. It was an eye-opening experience and I realized I could do more than I thought I could.

Volunteering with Tree People was fun and rewarding. As we say at Tree People, trees need people and people need trees! I volunteered each Sunday last year to plant and care for trees. I got the chance to plant trees in local parks and city streets. I plan to continue volunteering regularly this year.

Back in 2020, I volunteered as a storyteller at Friends Society's Program. I read to schoolchildren every Wednesday afternoon. I love the art of storytelling. Sometimes I stopped the story just before the ending and let children finish the story. It was an amazing experience and I look forward to doing it again next year.
