A voluntary work

The first guest in the conference
On Saturday, I worked as a volunteer in a health conference for the Centre of Research and Promotion of Women's Health which was organized by the Chinese University of Hong Kong. The venue is at the Prince of Wales Hospital.

The work was simple and easy. In the morning, I helped put small gifts into plastic bags for the guests. In the afternoon, I helped served the guests when they arrived.

I have not been a volunteer for quite a long time. That was a job that I had never done before. Although it was simple, it was meaningful. I enjoyed being a helper there. The people I worked with were completely different from my own field. It gave me a good opportunity to talk to people in different walks of life. I am not an outgoing person. I think I need this kind of training - talking and working with strangers :-) I think I will do it again when I have the chance in future.
