Being part of theYFC progamme has taught usmany new
and invaluableskills; frommanaging teams tocollaborating
with organisers. Despite all the challenges faced, we
managed to handle them one step at a time, and worked
together toovercome them, allowingus togrownot onlyas
individuals, but as a team too.
Without our team of volunteers to support us, we would
never havemade it this far, as theymade our YFC journey
such a fruitful one. A fewmonths back, wewere unsure of
what wewere capableof achieving. However, now that we
have experienced it ourselves, we realised that we were
not only given theopportunity toput our ideas intoactions,
wewerealsoenlightenedby other YFCgroups advocating
for causes they strongly believed in.
This was indeed an eye opener for us, and if you are
also interested in being part of the YFC journey, try it out,
because you’ll never know what you are capable of until
you take that first step and go for it. Our advice is, “You
are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem and
smarter than you think” –Christopher Robin.Wewish you
all thebest!

The YFC programme has been a journey full of new
experiences. Initially, the task seemed very daunting as it
was our first timeworking on such a project. However, we
had teachers and seniors acting as ourmentors to provide
uswith support and guidance.
In this journey, we picked up crucial life skills along the
way, such as communication and budget management.
Communication was essential for us to ensure that the
group was aware of the activities in the pipeline and our
respective individual responsibilities. We also had to try
to create outreach and awareness to recruit volunteers to
help out at our event.
Managing a budget was more challenging. To maximise
the profit from the sales of merchandise, we conducted
a research on the types of items for sales. In addition,
conducting street sales was not as easy as we thought
it would be. We were demoralised when members of the
public rejected or ignored us. But, on occasions when we
met individualswhoweregenuinely interested, itmade this
fundraising process more meaningful. It was inspiring to
witness the acts of kindness from strangers. All in all, we
are thankful for theopportunity to take part inYFC.

The desire to do good, was what sparked us, along with
many other YFC teams to continually put in effort to give
back to the community.Wemight have stumbledalong the
way in this journey – such as having to juggle other school
activities and resolving conflicts during discussion – but
we remained committed to theproject, dedicating timeand
effort to the larger community.
Whatwehadgained fromall our fundraisingeffortswas the
importanceof knowing thatweare investing inourselves to
make the community around us a better place, especially
for the beneficiaries. To all future YFC participants, enjoy
the process of championing for a social cause, and in
times of difficulties, always remind yourself of the intrinsic
motivation that drove you to participate inYFC.
