This year, as part of the WPCA, one of the challenges we had to do, in our own time, was a minimum of twenty hours Community service. Now, this could include things like helping out at a retirement home, local library, Rotary BBQ etc. I would say that this has been one of the bigger challenges this year for the majority of the students participating in the WPCA, but for me, it has also been one of the most enjoyable.
The first community service hours I did was for my schools Summer Sound Concert. This involved first setting up a stall, and then selling things to raise money for the school. This was one of the best ways to get some hours.
I also started to do some things weekly, at one time I was working at the preschool for two hours on a Tuesday, and at the Library for another two hours on Thursday.
When I reached twenty hours, I had the option to stop, but I found that I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to keep going.
As the year progressed, I found myself doing more and more community service, and I ended up doing a whole range of different activities; preschool, Library, Book Fair, working bee and more. Every single place I ended up helping out at was great fun, and I loved working with the people there as well.
So, after all that, I ended up with a grand total of 61 hours, and I'm very pleased with that outcome. I have loved every second of being able to participate in the WPCA, its been an amazing experience.
