"I enjoy the youth camp that I volunteer at as it involves children from various backgrounds. This involves fundraising to support children whose parents cannot afford the required cost. Youth camp is fun, yet educational for the children. I organise the event in conjunction with other volunteers. I also teach, facilitate, deliver workshops, and supervise other volunteers. It requires the ability to be flexible as you can be asked to do what was not in your schedule..."

"My duty also involves safeguarding all the children in our care and be able to work as an excellent team player".
