Volunteer Work
Doing what I can for my community
Following is a small collection of my reflections during my volunteer journey in the past few years. I am really grateful for the chance to give back to the community, whether it was helping out at events, creating something to brighten someone’s day, or using my passion for music and art to help raise funds for meaningful causes. These experiences have taught me that even small efforts can bring joy and make a difference. I have learned a lot and feel thankful to have been part of something so meaningful.
MoCa PAP Seniors Walk & Shop
I joined the MoCa PAP Seniors Walk & Shop event at Blk 52 Kent Road. It was a heartwarming morning spent playing BINGO with seniors and helping to prepare and serve lunch. Seeing their smiles reminded me how small acts of kindness can be. I’m glad I got to be part of it.
Fundraiser (Art and Music), YWCA HeART Beats, 2023
At the YWCA HeART Beats Festival Fundraiser, I performed Vivaldi’s Autumn and Bach’s Concerto for Two Violins, raising $1,335 in support of women, children, and families in need. I also contributed two original artworks to the charity exhibition, with 100% of all proceeds going to various charitable causes. It was an exciting day of giving back through music and art.
ChildAid 2022
When I was 9, I had the honour of performing at ChildAid, a charity concert organised by The Straits Times and The Business Times. Held at the University Cultural Centre (UCC), the event raised funds for The Straits Times School Pocket Money Fund and The Business Times Budding Artists Fund, which supports children and youth from low-income families.
Pameran Poskad 2022
In December 2022, I exhibited my postcard-sized artworks at Pameran Poskad 2022. I was thrilled to be one of over 470 artists featured at the event, which showcased more than 4,000 postcard-sized artworks at ION Art Gallery. What made the event even more meaningful was that 90% of proceeds from sales of my postcards would go to community causes.
Amity: A Fundraiser for Ukraine
In 2022, I took part in Amity, an art fundraiser to support humanitarian aid in Ukraine. I was only 9 at the time, but I wanted to do something to support the citizens of Ukraine. I painted a sunflower, Ukraine’s national flower and a symbol of hope, using bright and cheerful colours.
Volunteer Work Awards
Being part of the volunteer journey has been a really meaningful experience. Helping others and giving back to the community has taught me so much and made me realise the impact we can have. While I’m thankful for the awards and certificates which some organisers issued, what means the most to me is the experience itself and knowing that I’ve been able to make a difference.
