The newly emerged sports fair took place last Christmas and I had the unique opportunity to volunteer Taspony promotion there. In just a few short hours, I gained a better understanding of how the participants felt. I was astounded at how many participants of the fair could feel so disconnected from their lives and the impact it had on their mental and physical health. We listened as each person spoke openly about their struggles, and how they were overcoming them through the help of others.
In the beginning of the campaign, there was an old lady who showed a lot of initiative to talk to me. I was able to know more about the difficulties that she had. It was certainly a valuable experience for me to communicate with people of different ages. From that moment, my interactions with the participants of the fair grew even closer. As we spoke with her, we became friends. She made it clear that her self-confidence and hope was growing from the opportunity to learn more about herself through this experience. I was able to see the importance of others in our lives in such a meaningful way. I will cherish these experiences forever, and hope that other people will share their experiences as well.
These interactions reminded me that every single moment of our lives is important, and we must be kind to those around us. By standing up for what we believe in and encouraging those around us to do the same, we can create a brighter future for ourselves. I hope that I have found some joy in my life from these experiences and learnings. I have grown closer to friends, and continue to practice self-care so that I can be the best possible version of myself.
