Interested
in being a volunteer?
Here are a few simple points you
may wish to know about before you get started as a K4K
volunteer. |
-
Volunteering means you are seriously interested in
giving your time willingly to help others.
-
Volunteering
may involve skills that you have and want to offer
to others.
-
Volunteering
requires a willingness to learn and there is much
you may wish to learn.
-
Success
at volunteering depends very much on keeping an
open mind, and not prejudging or acting with bias.
-
As
a volunteer, you are in the best position to know
your strengths and weaknesses. Do not over-commit
yourself because burnout is a possible risk.
In
Kits4Kids, volunteering can be divided into direct
and indirect volunteering.
|
Direct
Volunteering
This area of volunteering is for those who enjoy meeting
and working with disadvantaged people. If you are a
see, touch and feel type you can work effectively with
disadvantaged children and Kits4Kids professionals.
Indirect Volunteering
This area of volunteering is for those who prefer to
work quietly in the background and offer their skills
to help
in a number of activities.
|
- Administrative work such as manning hotlines and
clerical functions.
- Organising and planning various activities for
the disadvantaged.
- Offering paramedical training and sharing medical
expertise.
- Cleaning, repairing and maintenance of premises
used for care of the disadvantaged.
- Assisting in the production of publications and
newsletters in areas such as photography, copywriting,
copy editing, graphic design and printing.
Both types of volunteers have a unique role to play in
helping the disadvantaged communities in Kits4Kids and
Malaysia.
