&&. volunteering

At the beginning of this term, Monica (a friend) and I do volunteering at the Salvation Army store in Lakemba on Wednesday afternoons, instead of doing sport. This week however, all volunteers from our school did the The Salvation Army's Red Shield Appeal, where we go to people's doors and ask for donations.

It all just so happened to be very cloudy, with weather warnings alerting us about severe winds. So we trudged on from house to house, fighting like brave army soldiers against the wind. Of course, this makes many people pity us ;) We successfully collected $30.40, which is a cause for celebrations ! Yaaaaaaaaaay ♥

But it seems that I have some bad luck with animals. Two furry cats will not stop staring at us, a small fat dog seems to enjoy sneaking up from behind me, and a vicious snarling greyhound scared the shit out of my soul.

In the end, we recieved a certificate for our work, many thank you's, a free Big Mac voucher, and very tired legs. All of us took a group photo, which I will post up once when I get my hands on it. I enjoy the warm fuzzy feeling at the thought that I helped someone's life through this act ♥
