Being a change maker

I was looking through some of my notes because I needed to prepare for a coming TV show interview in one of our local TV stations. I will be one of the people to be interviewed about Voluntary Service Overseas (VSO). It will be just a very short appearance and question and answer portion but I prefer to be prepared mentally for it.

I don't want to appear scripted but I just needed some inspiration since for me, volunteering is wonderful and I want to express it in such a beautiful to inspire others as well. While poring through some of my old notes, I have come across this beautiful quotation.

"I am only one, but still I am one.
I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;
and because I cannot do everything,
I will not refuse to do something that I can do." - Helen Keller

I felt this wonderful feeling inside of me. I felt excitement on how I will be going to express what my thoughts about volunteering are. I want to share that volunteers are change makers. Change maker in their own ways whether it be big or small. It is about doing something or contributing something on the best of our abilities.

Unemployed but not jobless

For me the word unemployed is not always equal in meaning to being jobless.

Although I know, looking at a dictionary, they are synonymous in meaning. I was able to come up with this statement because lately, I am unemployed in its real sense of meaning but am having a lot of stuff to do so that does not make me jobless.

I have been involved in a volunteer organization of which I am one of the pioneers or founders. We are a newly established organization. The name of our organization is Integrated Services for Education and Volunteer Efforts, Inc. (iSERVE) Iloilo. This group is a non-profit, non-political, non-sectarian volunteer group.

We are having a lot of activities lately such as medical missions. If you want to know more about them, you could check them out by clicking here.
