About Your Role
If you have a desire to share and impart skills including sports, singing, dancing, music, guitar, drama, photography, cooking and baking, IT, communications, arts & craft, origami, flower arrangement, we would like to partner you. We invite you to partner us in putting together short workshops to bless our beneficiaries, staff and/or volunteers.
As a volunteer, you will get to equip the 9-14 years old children and teenagers coming to the centre with valuable skills. Some of them come from needy families. By sharing skills with them, you help to keep them engaged positively and help develop them as a person.
You will leave know that you have made the day for the children/teenagers and also having shaped a young person's life.
