Volunteers share their experience
“Working at Heritage Home in the community service at Anthony Village through Bradfield Giveback Initiative was a wonderful experience, it made me look at things in a different way. Taking care of the children was fun, energizing and it made me admire those little children for the strength they have. My experience at Heritage Home will never be forgotten and I'm grateful that I had such an amazing opportunity to be of value, thanks to Bradfield Giveback Initiative.”
“The clean-up was my very first experience at community service and I will like to say that it was an enlightening experience. It opened my eyes up to the conservation of the environment because when I first got to the beach, it was in a poor state but as we started cleaning, I saw how much of an impact we were making and I was very surprised at how we were able to make such a difference in just one morning. Now I will like to make the same contributions as often as possible no matter the inconvenience, that’s how much the experience impacted me. A very big THANK YOU to Bradfield Giveback Initiative for this wonderful opportunity.”
“I attended the community service at Heritage Homes. I got this great information to serve at Heritage Homes from my Mum through Bradfield Giveback Initiative. Heritage Homes, a home for orphans, taught me so many things about the history of many children who later became orphans. This was a great opportunity, following my career path. I prepared very well for this 5 days program. My first day was interesting, my first contact with one of the orphans was when I was waiting in the compound for the other community service members. Some of which were my juniors at Chrisland School. The services we rendered at the homes were arranging of rooms, folding of clothes, sweeping, helping them read and write and so on. The feeding of a four month old baby lingers like it was yesterday. Seeing them was just like seeing regular peers, there was nothing different from them and others and it made me wonder why some parent would "sack" their children. It is an experience I will recommend for anyone because it is worth it!”
“Working with the Bradfield giveback initiative was a rewarding and easy experience!
Bradfield took care of every stage of the process - from applying, to selecting the volunteer opportunity I was available for, to attending the activity/event.
Usually, at the volunteer opportunities, either teenagers are disregarded and not attended to or attended to in an untimely fashion, but Bradfield closes this gap. I recommend 100%.”
