One of my professors said that we all want to be old rather than pass away. Even though people are old, they always want to learn because a lot of things out there we do not know. Here was the opportunity for me to share the culture of my country with these elderly people. I was glad that I helped them hear and learn somethings about my country that they had never heard before.

Volunteering in Northeast Tennessee!
I had the great pleasure to be a part of an organization from my host university called Volunteer ETSU, in which I participated in many activities to help others while making new friends from the university.
One of the activities was at the Second Harvest Food Bank which consisted of packing multiple bags of food products that will be given to kids in schools of Northeast Tennessee. It was a meaningful experience to provide a little of my time to help organizations like this that provide nutritional goods to impoverished communities.
It was a fulfilling experience!

Arbor Day Tree Planting at the University of Nevada, Reno. I had never made a big hole to plant a tree. At the beginning it was hard, but then I was proud I could work in group with this girl and we could have the land ready to plant the tree. I also met people who have pro- environment groups which work to make Reno a better city by planting trees.

Renovating the Youth Shelter restroom in Wheeling, West Virginia. It is such an indescribable feeling being helpful to others.

The Saginaw Special Olympics were held last Friday at my university. I decided to volunteer because I have always loved sports and especially athletics. I was in charge of being with Connor in all his events and showing him the campus of the university. Connor is an awesome boy; I loved how he told me everything that happened in his favorites episodes of Friends and how excited he was when he saw his old high school friends. I am glad that I participated in this activity and I definitely want to do it again in my country.

Doing community service is one of my greatest experiences here in United States. I was very happy to work with several other volunteers and appreciate the work of the director of that organization. It was great to serve a lot of people with food as they thank us with a big smile on their face, and work at the store of that organization, where people come and buy clothes, furniture, books, etc…at a low price. That inspired me to set up one like this in my community back in Haiti.

Some good vibes from the events which give you the chance to share some part of your culture. Malaysia (wassup, Naomi!), Papua New Guinea, Russia and Mongolia. We made it, folks!
Delicious dishes, nice atmoshpere. Thanks to Chef Steve (in the middle) for making it all happen.

I loved being part of community service in the US. The reflection I have from doing community service is the amazing feeling you have after doing it. Helping your community and helping each other is what make me very proud about being part of the UGRAD program. UGRAD is not only about academics or grades, UGRAD is engaging with your community and start doing right changes in your area.

Pet Shelter!
Anastasiia Mariutina, Russia, Troy University
Hello guys!
I was in a pet shelter in Troy, Alabama. It was really cool experience for me. I like pets and used to be a volunteer in pet shelter in my home country. After going to the pet shelter here, in Troy, I can compare them. There is a huge difference how pets are treated here in Alabama and in my city back home in Russia. There are not hungry here and treated very well… I want to improve conditions in pet shelters in Russia so much! Now I understand how it should look like and never forget this experience.
Thank you, World Learning!

Lifting meat and vegetable bags can be tiring but knowing that the food we just cooked is delicious and thinking about how much our beneficiaries would enjoy their meals makes us energetic and eager to serve more!!!
Naomi Ng (Malaysia), Western Washington University
Having done several community services over the past couple of months, I’m glad I had the opportunity to leave some footprints in the Bellingham community. One event I enjoyed slightly more than the rest, and am proud to be part of was being a Student Volunteer for the Global Gourmets Banquet hosted by the WWU International Student & Scholar Services. By working with the chef to recreate a Malaysian favourite - Nasi Lemak, this involvement allowed me to showcase my country, share a local favourite dish and introduce a bit of my culture to the Western staffs and students, and the Bellingham community. I believe knowledge is one of the best things to be shared, and I’m glad the guests learned something new about my country that evening.

I truly love volunteering specially with kids or for kids. On March 11th, Literacy Corps of my Maryville College celebrated Dr.Seuss Birthday. There were more than 30 children and we really had lots of fun. You can see the cake from the event and it was super delicious.

First day in D.C.! I’ll never forget the friendships that I’ve made or the sights I’ve had the privilege of seeing in this beautiful place. I hope I’ll be able to come back someday!
Ali Sider, Jordan New Mexico Highlands University One of the best days when you do community service at a soup kitchen and you get to cook,clean and serve with love! I love this day❤ — feeling fabulous
