November Volunteering Hours: 6 Hours 

Total Hours: 14 Hours




    This month was quite an eventful month for me. I was invited to an event which was held for some of the children who I have been tutoring through the Vibha community, as I have been talking about in my past few months. As a token of appreciation, I was able to speak to the wider public about the values and mission of the volunteering tutoring we provide. I did this event alongside my normal tutoring and it was truly fulfilling meeting the children that I have been tutoring in real life. It was also a true learning experience as I was able to showcase my vocational and advocacy skills to the public too in front of a large crowd. As for the rest of my hours, I was still able to complete my normal tutoring hours weekly, for the month. For my future plans, I am still planning on volunteering in the children's hospital but as I have had quite a busy month, I am planning on starting in December as I would like to dedicate more time towards it. 

    Another reason, my month has been so eventful is because of the Master's course. It has been a very interesting month of learning. We began the month with the cardiovascular exams and I love the entire cardiovascular system and all the pharmacology linked to it. After the cardiovascular exam we moved onto the renal module which was also interesting. I have never been able to learn about the renal module in such an in-depth way. This allowed me to learn a lot more about the renal system and I particularly enjoyed learning about the diuretics which act on different parts of the kidney. Towards the end of the month, we began the GI/Neoplasia module which includes learning about cancer. It has been a fascinating module so far, especially learning about cancer which has been a big focus in the research world. 

    Overall, this month and semester has been quite fulfilling and I am excited to begin the final semester of the master's program and to learn more about pharmacology and be able to use what I have learnt in the real world!

Volunteer Hours Completed - 4 hours My volunteering Journey with Vibha NPO Over the past few months, I had the incredible opportunity to volunteer with Vibha, a non-profit organization committed to empowering underprivileged children. My role was rewarding as I served as a tutor for two children from Bhutan, who had arrived as refugees. The experience was not only about teaching English and Math, but also about providing companionship and emotional support to these young minds in a new life. From the beginning, I focused on creating a safe and supportive environment for these children. At our weekly sessions, I could see their confidence grow as they became more comfortable with the subjects we were working on, especially Math and. I designed a personalized learning plan made for individual needs, ensuring that our time together was focused on improving their academic performance. It was rewarding to witness their progress, not only academically but also in their confidence to tackle t...

I dedicated a further four hours to tutoring then through Vibha, an organization committed to improving education access for underserved communities. During four lessons, I worked one-on-one with the two students helping them build confidence in both English and Math, Witnessing their determination always inspires me to work harder in my own classes as a Pharmacology student. I feel privileged to play a small part in their journey towards academic success. Looking ahead, I am thrilled to be in the process of joining LCMC's paediatric cardiac volunteer program, where I will have the opportunity to support children navigating heart-related health challenges.
