Meet Arisara, a student volunteer with St John Ambulance, Queensland sharing their story as part of our ‘Share Your Story Series’
A Passion for Volunteering
“This is part of my placement requirement for the course I’m studying, but I have loved volunteering since I was in my home country, Thailand. I used to volunteer to clean the beach to save ocean lives, donating blood, donating money for homeless people, sending food to stray dogs, sending gifts to children in Myanmar, etc.”
Giving is the Best Act
“I felt like my parents and my religion had a lot of influence on me in terms of the volunteer mindset. Thailand is a Buddhist country, and we believe that giving is the best act. And we should be kind to each other as humans.”
Encouraging Others to Volunteer
“I would totally recommend them to do it!”
