Tomorrow evening will be the start of the training for a local group I will be volunteering with.
When I made the move here, I told myself that one of the things that I want to do when I've finally settled is to get myself into volunteer work.
Yeah, blame it on the Pahinungod years of my life. The three years with my university's volunteer group have really sparked the fire of volunteerism in me. For that, I am forever grateful.
Wherever I go, I have always tried to look for ways to volunteer.
Last June during Pink Dot, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that several LGBT groups are present in this supposedly conservative country.
I decided I would get in touch with one of the groups to find volunteer opportunities.
After doing some research, I sent in my application for a volunteer post to a couple of these groups.
A phone call, a face-to-face interview, some email exchanges and as I've mentioned in my earlier post, I will be starting my training tomorrow night for the volunteer work.
I'm really looking forward to the training, and the real "work" after the training. The LGBT sector is one area I'd like to volunteer with and I'm glad I will be able to do that here.
More deets soon.
