Reading Text: A Volunteer's Story
[1] My Name is Ayman, a 21-year-old Egyptian student. I want to share my story with you as I am currentlyحاليا living the happiest times in my life! This is because I have just learned what "responsibility" means and I have made friends all over Egypt. I am a volunteer in the “Step Towards Our Future" programme of the Youth Association for Population and Development (YAPD), a non-governmental organisation supported by UNICEF.
[2] The year 2007 marks the beginning of this fantastic phase in my life! We travelled to Cairo to attend a youth empowerment workshop. We learned to make field studies to understand the problems of our small community. My field study took me to houses of rich and poor people. In my village, I was touched and overwhelmedتأثرت وغمرتني المشاعر with what I have found outاكتشفته. I saw how the poor have compassion for each other.
[3] We chose to start with an initiative called "Ayssin" which means moonlight. We decided to start by marking our place, so we put large notices at the village entrance and built a fence around the Youth Centre. We established a social club inside the Youth Centre and turned a deserted area there into a garden called Ayssin Garden for Children. We also arranged for a big medical convoy including 19 mobile clinics and a drugstore.
[4] For me, the most important rewardمكافأة after taking part in all these activities is that one feels that his work has made a difference. I hope our ideas will reach all people in order to encourage them to volunteer for the benefit of their community. I hope a TV programme will present our lectures and workshops. In this manner, parents will know what their sons and daughters are doing and encourage them to contribute. A UNICEF representative visited us to see the outcomeنتيجة of our efforts.
