Total Hours: 19

    This month has been a busy month for volunteering for me. During the Mardi Gras break, I travelled over to Texas to see my girlfriend. With her, I completed some volunteering hours. For 5 hours on a random Saturday we decided to volunteer at Pet Circle, which is a no-kill dog shelter. We also decided to take a dog out on a "bark-break." We took out Allen, who had been at the shelter for over 6 months and we decided to go for a pup cup and other fun activities! It was a way to have a little bit of therapy as well as helping a dog with his kennel and giving him a good day.

    Along with this, my girlfriend is also the president for the psychology club at our undergraduate college and she was holding an volunteer event to write letters and cards for Cards for Kidz. I decided to show up to show my support for her organization as well as write some cards for the kids. We spent 3 hours setting up the event and writing the cards along with interacting and mingling with some interesting individuals. Along with this, I did my usual 4 hours tutoring the refugee kids who are in high school. Me and Naasif also volunteered at ReStore for Habitat for Humanity which was fun as we got to help with inventory at a furniture store. It was nice to help the elderly manager with her stock. 

One of my many cards, this was not a good start.

    This month for school has been very interesting. It was has quite interesting to learn about psychopharmacology. We are getting close to the end of the semester and it is starting to get stressful for the final but I am excited to do these volunteering events for a good cause.

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...

Volunteering Hours 4 Hours  Total Hours: 8 Hours October has been a fulfilling month of volunteering, focused on supporting two high school children in challenging circumstances. 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. Being a part of their experience, even in a small ways aligns with my aspirations in cardiology and my commitment to healthcare. Volunteering has always...

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 woul...
