In 2019, I've interviewed as a camp committee at the Ali de Speranza Famine-30 DIY camp. I've supported fund-raising, camp setup, and guided a total of 1000 campers.
Never stop growing myself, I've decided to once again level up my ability and to join the 30-Hour Famine as a camp committee. Withhold the past experiences as a camper in 2016 and as a camp volunteer for 2 years consecutively in the following, I refuse to make those experiences and skills obtained a waste. This year I challenged my confidence and signed up to be interviewed as a camp committee. I was glad that the seniors and higher tier camp committees saw my potential and allowed me to perform. Having a higher position role in a camp was a whole new vision with greater responsibilities, more workloads, more professionalism is expected, to be highly independent, to be actively engaging, greater social skills needed, etc. It was an unforgettable experience for me this year to work closely with the higher-tier personnel of the camp as I believe that it can professionally help me in my growth and development.
On the 21st of July 2019, Ali de Speranza was entitled as the "Largest 30-Hour Famine DIY Camp 2019". We cheered and celebrated our achievement in the stadium as we are really proud of it! I am thankful to our camp commander for his professional leadership skill in leading the entire camp. I think that there is a lot for me to learn from the top 5 commanders of the camp as they have performed good leadership skills in handling and overseeing the entire plan of this camp. I also think that they played the biggest role in the entire camp as every decision falls on their hands and every consequence will have to be borne by them. I do look up to my seniors and I hope to have more opportunities to work alongside them.
On the 20th of July 2019, it’s the opening ceremony of the Ali de Speranza 8-Hour Kidz Famine and 30-Hour Famine Camp. Truly respected sponsors and the board of directors of SJKC Perempuan Klang are invited to be the guest and to announce the beginning of the famine countdown. As my fourth year of joining the Ali de Speranza camp, I have lots of respect for the sponsors and board of directors of SJKC Perempuan Klang. Not that they’ve cashed in funds to make these camps possible, they had also supported the camp for 10 years consecutively without expecting or seeking returns. Ali de Speranza sponsors have remained loyal throughout the years and never turned down any proposals, yet they generously sponsor goods every year. As for the board of directors of SJKC Perempuan Klang, they are definitely angels for supporting and motivating youth to hold camps on their campus. As adults, they are always there for us whenever we have needs, they are ready to accommodate us. These adults have my greatest respect of all for trusting, supporting, motivating, and giving young generations opportunities to shine.
On the12th of August 2019, Ali de Speranza held its feast celebration inviting camp committee members and camp volunteers of both Ali de Speranza 8-Hour Kidz Famine and 30-Hour Famine. It was nice to gather all together once again and to flashback camp memories together, it felt like I have reunited with family once again. I am glad to be part of everything from the beginning to the end of the camp. I am also thankful to the other committees and volunteers for enduring my shortcomings or any unpleasant behavior of mine. Being able to be accepted by others and to play a role in a team is what I've learned. I look forward to meeting this awesome team again in the future and at the next camp! They have granted me the opportunity to create wonderful memories during my youth days.
Ali de Speranza (2019) also marks the 10th Anniversary of it's 8-Hour Kidz Famine Camp and 30-Hour Famine Camp at SJKC Perempuan Klang. Altogether, camp commander and camp committees of the 10 years gathered to sing the "Ali de Speranza song".
