In the past few months, Joe Jen, Yee Yein, Ming Kang, XuJen & I have volunteered and visited a few places such as charity home visit with pharmacy and health science juniors(intake in 2012) at Thangam Illam Welfare Society, Pandan Indah.

After finishing our semester 3, EOS exam on the 1st week of November 2012.
We went again to Society For The Prevention Of Cruelty To Animals (SPCA), Ampang on the 2nd week of November 2012 to help out the workers, gain understanding and appreciation toward people and animals as well. I've volunteered for 7 days in SPCA.
7, 9, 19-20, 23 Nov 2012
As a Zoo Negara Volunteer, my coursemates and I have experience the daily work routine of a Zoo Keeper at Zoo Negara, Ampang. The departments that I've worked before are Children's World, Ape Centre, Mammal Kingdom and Bear section (Guar Bulls).
Along this fascinating and mesmerizing journey,
I truly believe that my coursemates and I have learn a lot of precious and valuable lessons, and experience the things that we can't learn in the lecture rooms.
Through helping out in the community services,
I've learn that regardless of what work or practices you have been assigned, do it diligently and happily and these will make your life easier. Along the journey, we do encountered some good times and difficulty with people but these will only help us to grow and to be more mature if we can handle ourselves and our emotions, which i personally think is an important intrinsic value as a future health science profession.
Furthermore, it is wise to make it a point to get along with everyone or as much as possible & be forgiving.
It is true that sometimes you can learn something from a book, but do not forget that the things that you experience it will stay in your memory for a lifetime.
In short, simply being inspired is not enough, one must be an active participant to truly realise the true meaning of life.
Below are some of the pictures we have taken during and after the community services =)
I do hope that we can learn more in the coming community services.
