Brightening people’s days
February 26, 2025by: Kai MewarThe most memorable experience for me would be visiting a local residency and spending time with some of the elderly men and women in the centre. It felt as if we were really having an impact on the community and brightening people’s days, which is exactly what I hoped to achieve by undergoing this volunteering experience.
Impacting the community in a positive way
February 16, 2025by: George ThomasMy most memorable experience from my program in Barcelona, Spain was definitely organising the food bank. I felt like I was really impacting the community in a positive way and I learnt a lot throughout the day.
