STAMFORD SHINES FOR HABITAT FOR HUMANITY

A service learning reflection by G11 Jolius

鈥淢y friends and I volunteered to help renovate a home on Wednesday. We were excited to do so for our CAS experience, but also to help improve the quality of life of some individuals who cannot do so themselves.

When we first arrived at the apartment, we were quite shocked by its size and condition. The walls were torn down, and the apartment itself was tiny. We need more awareness of the disparity of living conditions in Hong Kong!

We helped renovate the apartment by scraping off the old wallpaper, repainting the home, and cleaning it. The homeowner was very happy and thankful. To see such a drastic transformation because of our hard work was a really good feeling. It is meaningful to help those who can鈥檛 afford to spend a lot of money on things such as cleaning and renovation. I want to thank teachers and Habitat for Humanity for this opportunity, and I will definitely do it again!鈥
