I am Doris (Social Media Officer) and I have received an email from our President, Suzi, today about volunteering with JCI Eastern. Suzi received several enquires from potential volunteers about our projects. This is good news and as a keen volunteer and a member of JCI Eastern, I would like to share my thoughts about volunteerism.
Define "Volunteering": - It is up to each person's purpose to freely offer to do something. Volunteering is for any who are willing to contribute to build a better life.
What is it for? For me, volunteering is simply a Mission that we all have a responsibility to carry it out. By doing so, we also benefit from volunteering. For example, as an oversea student, joining a group could help me warm up my heart, get rid of the loneliness, specially, join many social activities and fascinating journeys.
Busy, so what? I lead a busy life; studying, working and some socialising have made me very busy. But the importance of volunteering means I have learnt to prioritise. Let's volunteer with a heart., because it is definitely worth yourself while. The best lesson was shared by our President, Suzi. ^^ During Suzi's speech at the last year's Christmas party, we learnt about JCI Whitehorse Maroondah/Eastern's 2011 accomplishments including the of grant funding that we managed to secured for 2012. That speech made all of us feel our effort and hard work had been worthwhile.
