Even During These Times...GOD finds a way to get us involved! What started off as a mandatory volunteer Saturday last weekend for my daughter, will now be our family's annual holiday start. It was a privilege to help out at the @ymca of PORTER RANCH for their Annual Community Thanksgiving Dinner Giveaway Bags assembling event! And it wasn't chaotic or too hard. Just... efficient. Plus EVERYONE was trying their best to be COVID-COMPLIANT! There were so many kids (8-16) that were on fire for Volunteerism and Community! @TheAskTanInitiative cand get behind this!!! #ThisIsTheWay #YoungVolunteers #TheyAreOurNextWave #OneFootInFrontOfTheOther #LendSomeHelpingHands #BlessYourNeighborsSoYouMayBeBlessed (at YMCA Porter Ranch) https://www.instagram.com/p/CH3NshQr0pM/?igshid=2khhu3uua0sy

International Student Volunteering Stories and Advice

Le Quan (Jenny) Ly – International Student and Volunteer:

“Sydney is my second home. The academic life is quite hectic sometimes, however the lectures are world-class. I am passionate about community work and I have participated in many not-for-profit organisations in Sydney to raise funds for research, help homeless people, children, people with cancer or anyone that is in need of a hand. I feel so proud to be in Australia, the country with the strongest charity culture in the world! I enjoy cooking great Chinese and Vietnamese foods, especially baking different kind of cakes for my family and friends. Seeing my family members and beloved friends eating great foods and spend time together is the best feeling. My advice to new students is to be active and confident! Volunteering is a great way to improve your English, make new friends and understand more about Australian culture.”
