CAS Reflection – Volunteering Over Circuit-Breaker

Over circuit breaker, I was lucky enough to be provided with the opportunity to help volunteer at HDBs in Singapore. I was introduced to this program by my friends who were also part of the program, I later also got other people in my circle to join the volunteer program. The program was organised by a local restaurant in Singapore – wherein they were making batches of takeout food to send to the elderly in nearby HDBS. I helped out with not only making but also delivering the food. I found this experience very eye-opening as it showed me the effects of the virus on people from a different walk of life from me, it also gave me a chance to work in the local community – something I am not usually able to do due to me being a foreigner in Singapore. Being able to help people in need at a time like this was also a very interesting and unique experience which lessons I will carry with me for a very long time.

I joined Yoga Therapy with Tampines MINDS because I wanted to learn more about yoga while also teaching yoga to those with learning difficulties. I thought the service was interesting because I feel like in the environment I am in, (in terms of friends and family) I know little about the abilities of those with learning difficulties as well as how to communicate effectively with those of them who are not able to speak. Not only that, but I am also doing yoga as an activity. It is almost as though I am learning as I help the participants, which helps me grow in my skill as well as my responsibility. I have already learned about how yoga can benefit people in physical and mental terms. Even more so within people with learning difficulties. I wish to help the participants be more comfortable with themselves and others through yoga.
