do some volunteer work

I volunteered on campus at the Co-op last Thursday and had a great time. It’s a not-for-profit organisation and everyone there is super nice and downstairs is this horrible food court that I never want to be forced to frequent regularly so I am more than happy to try and help anyway I can to aid such an awesome establishment. So yes, planning to volunteer making sandwiches and doing dishes on Thursdays from now on! :)

I wanted to volunteer in soup kitchens or something like that but when I looked up the Salvos it said that you must be at least 18 to work at street level and I don’t know if I’d be good for anything else.

Also, I went to Lentil As Anything and wanted to ask them about volunteering but I’ll have to wait about a month before their meetings for prospective volunteers restart (after the holiday season) and my parents are on my case about getting a job before I start Uni.

So I’ll have to figure out a way to do what I want and what they want within the limitations of my age. I’ll get there :)

I haven’t worked in six months, and it has been even longer since I gave my time and energy to a volunteer position. I think I may start at the local food bank…

Helped out at the community centre and did some crafts with the children. Am going to think of an arts programme we can do with a friend next summer. Am living away at the moment so will put this on the back burner but have definately made progress.

Am doing some craft work with children at the community centre this wednesday. Looking forward to helping out -even better that I get to do art stuff!

Met a girl this week who gets involved with local volunteer groups, will keep in touch with her and sort it out when I get back from Hotham.

Hi..

adding this new goal.. even though I’ve thought abt it A LOT. I would love to help out.. anyway.. anyhow..

But there are two major problems.. I have a lot on my plate that I’m not being able to ‘do properly’..

And I don’t have the resources.. to travel and help ppl..

But I guess.. helping around whr I stay and ppl around me should work till I have time and resources to spare for the ‘formally needy’..

I enjoy helping others and would like to do it more often. I would like to help those in need. Everyone needs a little kindness and understanding, let alone help every now and then!

I’ve actually had this finished since a little after my last log in to this dumb site.

I went to school today. I am there. I have to turn my shirt inside out because it has a Guns N’ Roses on it. I have a granola bar in my pocket so I’ll probaby do that before lunch. I should’ve showered a while ago so I wouldn’t be so sweaty still and look gross in front of people who still kind of know me.
