In the drive, we were tasked to help pack many goods donated by our students and teachers. We were splitted into different roles to form like a chain production. There would be some students allocated at the front part where they were in charge to check the quality of the donated items (e.g expiry date). The middle part would contain students differentiating the items into categories such as food, toiletries, miscellaneous etc. At the third part, there would be some students entering the data of the items donated before it reached the last part (I was allocated there :)) where the students would pack it into boxes ready to be moved out. 

At the start, it was honestly spectacular to see the large amount of items we had collected. Seeing the items passed by my hands knowing they would be given to people who needed it urgently, it was just heartwarming and heartbreaking at the same time. I learnt how fortunate I was to be able to be on this end donating. Living in Singapore, we are at a geographically advantaged location and we do not need to worry about many problems. I could never empathise with the suffering the people there are going through without personally experiencing it myself but I knew the difficulties they were facing. The part I played in this may be negligible on a large scale when compared to countries just donating millions of dollars but as long as I played a part, I know I could help just at least 1 more family can their neccessities earlier. It was an experience I wish to extend in the future when I could play bigger roles such as really travelling to an affected country myself and feel for the real situation.
