I have worked voluntarily in a Medical Center called "Medica" in Istanbul, Turkey. I have helped doctors and nurses by reviewing their schedules and reminding them what is next as well as helping them by any other need they have.
I cooked leek and potato soup at home (Hong Kong) for my family following a traditional Welch recipe. The dish was garnished with homemade croutons and extra virgin olive oil
I helped my cousin by tutoring her virtually from Oman and especially in Mathematics and English essay writing skills.
This was part of my daily tutoring last week which was a very positive and influential experience.
I worked with 7Cups, a website where people can sign up to become listeners (like me) for those who need an ear. This ranges from little things like exercise motivation to big ones like depression and domestic violence.
I went through a half-hour training and spent 30 minutes talking to two individuals who sought out the virtual company of a listener. The first conversation was initiated from someone who was looking to receive emotional support for a recent breakup; they did not respond after a few minutes. The second was with someone seeking guidance on how to address parental approval for their own relationship.
For mental health, these counseling sessions are essential for those who seek such services especially in light of national stay-home policies.
I helped rake, clean up, and bag the leaves, twigs, and sticks in my backyard.
I had a great time sharing my daily exercise routine. It is a great way to stay fit and active during these challenging times with the coronavirus.
I work with Jumpstart organization, and we spend weekday mornings tutoring pre-school children their reading, writing, and social-emotional skills. We usually do it two-days out of every week at Gap Childcare Center, but because of Corona outbreak we had to switch to virtual learning. So instead we just made literacy packets for the children, and shared with their parents.
I went to a pet store to get supplies to deliver for someone I know who needed it.
