The No.1 Befriending Agency- Creative Assistant
2021 – present
A a creative assistant with the No. 1, I was able to collaborate creatively with others in a role that encourages and brightens the lives of older people. During online art sessions, I enjoy meeting new people, taking on new challenges, and sharing my thoughts with others. Furthermore, since becoming a volunteer with No. 1, I have gained more experience because I can provide creative support, such as teaching fine art techniques to people who are experiencing loneliness in the midst of a pandemic, as I have experienced as a disabled person.
