On November 10, 2015, I went to an orphanage in Bangkok with my mom. We donated my clothes, books, and toys. We also bought art materials, more toys, and more clothes for the children. I played with the kids, entertained them, feed them, and saw their life routine. As I get to see their lives, I reflect on my life quality. I have more opportunities: to have a better education, buy fancy clothes, buy electronic devices, and travel worldwide. I am aware of the large gap between the rich and poor as well as common issues in Thailand such as teen moms, poverty, and so on. Even though the children at the orphanage seem happy, it would be better if they have a better opportunity and life quality.

I dug up soil, using both shovel and my bare hands, in an area nearby. Then, I put the plant into the dug hole and covered the surface with soil to complete the planting steps properly. I realized that planting trees requires patience and determination. It is not just putting those plants into the soil, but there are also important steps that I need to consider. The space between each plant will affect its growth, meaning that it can die if it is placed too close.

Even though it takes hard work and effort, I think that it is not too difficult for people to return these trees to Earth. Everyone can help if they have the intention.

My friends and I helped out at their pop-up booth in a mall in Bangkok. We talked to people that come to the mall about the organization and encouraged them to adopt the cats. I also took care of the cats that were there. I feel glad that many people are interested in adopting the cats from PAWS. It saves money, decrease the number of stray cats, and it showed that the owner really loves and cares for the cat.
I plan to go to other provinces in Thailand for community work. In March 2018, my friend and I planned to go to Samui island, located in the south of Thailand, to visit a dog shelter for four days. We researched that we can walk the dogs, help fundraise, and look after the dog’s health. I wish to continue doing volunteer works throughout the times in university and beyond. Community services are not only fun, but I feel good doing something for others that need the help and doing something for the Earth that I am living
