Sometimes, opportunities come knocking your before you even realised. Ever since graduating from Junior College which is like a whooping three years ago, there's has been little, to be exact NO chance at all to be be doing my most favourite thing in the world- volunteering. I rmb clocking in way above the requirements in secondary and JC days because I really do find joy in them. They make me feel complete and fills my heart in every little way. And to think, today was the day!
By some work of the O'mighty above, I was invited to join the rest of the StarHub team in their volunteering work at Chai Chee this afternoon, i literally JUMP at the chance. Apparently, this was all part of StarHub's CSR effort and they calls it the "Happy Everywhere" campaign. In this campaign, SH unveils various activities and acts in various part of Singapore to bring joy to different groups of people. Some of these includes having a cheerleading team camping at Pasir Ris Interchange to cheer for the army boys who are protecting us as we are deep in slumber each night. Not forgetting giving out free coffees to PMEBs at Lau Pa Sat, bringing children from Carpe Diam Children's Daycare on a trip on the Happy Bus amongst many others.
And this.. is the FINALE- inviting low income households in Chai Chee for a dinner on us. Our day started an hour before the actual dinner, packing "Happy Everywhere" goodies bags with bread and milo. Then residents started streaming in. After their collection, they were directed to the dining area. Dinner was served! By our friendly volunteers from SH, me included!
After hours of standing, my legs were really aching! But it was a happy kind of unhappy, if you get what i meant. Ha. But having all the people thanking you for dinner when they were leaving. That, is happiness :)
