💡 A volunteer’s gains 💡 This weekend, I had the privilege of participating in an incredible community event supported by Beyond Social Services. Themed "Healthy You & Me”, the ground-up event is aimed at tackling rising food costs and improving access to healthy diet choices for vulnerable families. The highlight? 👩🍳 A cooking competition. The key ingredients? Instant noodles and a generous amount of community spirit! Outcome? Healthy meals can be created by adding a bit of “this and that”! 🍜 🥒 🥚 The event wasn’t just about the cooking competition.  My learnings 💡 ?  🥳. Opportunity X Courage X Hope: 5 ladies courageously stepped out of their comfort zone to show their craft to familiar and strange faces. Feeling stressed before and during the competition, all now have an experience to be on-stage and speaking in public.  🤹♀️ 💃 🔔 I am inspired by their courage. Overcoming a challenge regardless of scale always add to our life experiences for our next opportunities. 🥳 Community kinship: residents stepped out of their rental flats to support neighbours. S17 Community Kitchen (https://lnkd.in/gg6qHeeZ) opened their space to support the event and corporate entities such as Ninja Shark sponsored home appliance as prizes (aptly fit the theme). Young and young-at-heart volunteers assumed various roles came together and be ignited by the energy of the community leaders and youth emcees. It brought laughter, relaxation and warmth for those who were present. 😍 🔔 I am inspired by organizers' creative programming. It met the needs of the beneficiaries where they are. Free buffet offered a kampung eating feast. Through educational quizzes, audience learned important facts & trends and could choose their choice of food ingredients from the contestant’s food inventory. Minimise food wastage! It is a lifelong journey for me to role model after many kindred & passionate individuals. How can we contribute to the growth and well-being of ourselves and others?  Whether big or small, every action counts. Together, we can make a difference. 🌱 #HealthYouAndMe #CommunityWellbeing #FoodSecurity #HealthyChoices #CollectiveWisdom #LocalHeroes #CommunityEngagement #ShareYourRecipes #TogetherWeCan
