This is my collection around social justice issues.
During my co-op term at the North Shore Women's Centre, I assisted and coordinated in two of North Shore Women’s Centre’s (NSWC) annual fundraising event–the summer and winter online auctions, and facilitate two one-week long Girls Empowerment Camp. Additionally, I also assisted in coordinating other special events, such as the West Vancouver Community Event and North Vancouver Canada Day Event.
As a part of my assignment to reduce world hunger, I participated in a 30-day waste reduction plan as a part of the Zero Hunger Challenge (UN, 2012). More specifically, I reduced waste through composting, recycling, and reusing products. Through this challenge, I hope to be able to adopt a sustainable habit through this 30-day challenge and make conscious efforts to prevent waste creation.
During secondary school years, I devoted time towards volunteering for the Myanmar refugees, in addition to cultivating and honing my teaching skills. This experience allowed me to gain valuable insights to less privileged children who do not have basic necessities such as education, as well as other psychosocial factors of malnutrition.
