Applying for voluntary work

 Voluntary work is without a doubt a very important part of my CV. Therefore, I have joined a large variety f voluntary work, ranging from weekly volunteering at Keen, fund raising with Wings of Hope, to one-time voluntary work with Virgin sports as well as run & raise. The Virgin Sports volunteering was exceptionally memorable as we had to give out water and carry out the duties of a water station for a marathon under the rain. The day started off with us filling up water bottles at the station and at that moment it was just slightly raining. However, when the marathon was about to smart, rain poured down. Some of us were questioning whether the marathon would be cancelled but in the end it did not. I was rather shocked that it would rain that much and also had thoughts of giving up, but I stood firm and our duties were fulfilled. Although the weather was terrible that day and it was raining cats and dogs, none of us had any complaints said. We knew deep down that it is important for us to carry out our job or else the marathon would not be as successful. It was certainly gratifying after the event as cleaners, members of Virgin Sports and participants of the marathon all thank and praise us for our hard work and perseverance. KEEN and Wings of Hope has yet to begin but I am certainly looking forward to the precious experience of helping others as this skill is certainly useful for my future.
