Campaign final reflection

Dear bees,

The end of this really amazing GNML journey came too soon. I really liked doing all the assignment and I indeed learned a lot. I am very thankful for being given this opportunity and I will not stop here. This is just a beginning. In the future, dear bees, expect more posts on this blog and hopefully looking through this blog you will find an motivation and ideas for volunteering. You can always find me on Facebook or Twitter and feel free to ask questions. Facebook page will be filled with pictures and you can also share your own experience. I would be more than happy to receive your ideas and photos. Twitter will not be lonely either, I will make sure to RT tweets that relate to volunteering and get advices from people who volunteered longer than me. Youtube will be used to find new videos about how to motivate people to volunteer and to share my experience. Instagram will be the place to share new images and follow people who have the same interests. Linkedln will be used to connect to people and volunteering organizations. I am looking forward to future and hopefully, dear bees, you will be there with me!

Thank you :)

Get your volunteer on !

Show that you care at the care center !

Dear bees,

Long time no see. Hopefully you've been working hard on finding volunteering opportunities and I can bet that you found new friends on your way. At least that's what I did :)

New opportunity to volunteer came up and I accepted it with a big heart. I started volunteering at the care center and so far it is going very well. When I first got there I had to finish the paperwork and it took me few days to get an approval. By then I just couldn't wait to start!

Before I talk about my role, let me explain the role of care center in communities.
Care Center leads the way in providing resident-centered care for people who require short-term rehabilitation or long-term skilled nursing care. Rehabilitation team members are full-time employees of this facility, providing both inpatient and outpatient therapy. It's a place where all the people are accepted and given fully attention and they represent a highest priority to care center workers.

My main role is helping with dining room. It's a great opportunity to help other workers and also to meet wonderful residents of the care center and offer them dinner. I highly recommend that if you're looking for a place to volunteer you should look for a care center in your community. They always accept volunteers and treat them as they are part of staff.

Until next time, work hard bees!

Video about my campaign

Dear bees,

In this post I will talk about one really interesting program that I am a part of for this exchange year. The name of that  program is Global New Media Lab (GNML) and it's funded by the U.S. Department of State and implemented by PH International. GNML consists of GNML Online and the Youth TechCamp.
The overall goal of GNML Online and the Youth TechCamp is to nurture international high school students from around the global as young digital activists, skilled in the use of innovative online and mobile tools for powerful change in communities worldwide.
Online part is based on 10 sessions, and in every session exchange students have an assignment to do. One of those assignments is to create your own campaign and blog where you will be able to promote your goals. And this blog was my assignment! I am very thankful to everyone who takes time to read my posts and I also prepared a short video.

Lights of Christmas

 

Dear bees,

This time I will talk about my experience volunteering during the winter brake. What is actually Lights of Christmas? It's a spectacle with more than 1 million Christmas lights displayed, a spectacle spread over 15 acres at Warm Beach Camp in Stanwood, Washington, during 18 days in December. The Lights of Christmas offers live music, theater, crafts, pony rides, a petting farm, and Polar Express Train rides. Visitors can shop for Christmas gifts, listen to carolers, attend a dinner theater and visit with Santa Claus or Bruce the Spruce, the talking Christmas tree.

 

 

Every year more than 500 people volunteer at this wonderful place. This year, I had a great opportunity to be one of them. I was working with two of my good friends at the ornament decorating stand. We helped the kids by giving them few ideas and just talking to them. There is also a chance for volunteering to spend a night at one of the cabins for free! The cabins are nice decorated and warm. We really enjoyed our time ! I would definitely recommend everyone to come and have fun.
