Volunteering challenge update and other volunteering bits

Having been doing Team V for some months now, it is sad to think that we are nearly on the last campaign, however, I am excited to find out what it is and do my best to carry it out. Through Team V, I have met some great people, had amazing experiences and gained plenty of volunteering hours. I will be happy to not have to juggle so much with my college work, however, it will be sad to finally see the end of an exciting 9 month journey. The best thing about Team V has to be the people I've met. They are friends that I will never forget.

Aside from the end of Team V nearing, I am also nearing the end of a challenge I set myself to get to 300 hours by the end of February, however, I may not quite make it. I am currently on 292.5, however, that means having to do 3 hours and 15 minutes for the next two days. I know that this, under usual circumstances, would be fine, however, I do have college and I need to improve on work. I may get to 295 or something but I don't know. It was a great target though and I will continue to set realistic targets over the next few months so keep an eye out. I have a feeling that I may have to go in tens or twenties but oh well.

Thirdly and finally, I am really looking forward to seeing my only volunteer (my girlfriend) collect her Vibe Award on the 11th of March. I am so proud of the volunteering she has done with Team V and her local youth group and I admire her for that. I was also glad to hear that staff from my own volunteering that I did 50 hours for over the summer will be there. C:The Box is such a great media hub and youth club and I thank them for the opportunity and what they do with young people is really inspiring (or should I say, Vinspiring). On the other hand, so is the project with which my volunteer volunteers with, Rainbows, which, if I am correct in my research, is run by Girlguiding.

Overall, there is a lot coming up over the next month or so and I will be busy, however, as I'm always saying, it's better than being bored. Plus, it means that I will hopefully do well in my college work and I'll also get more volunteering hours. A bonus - in a way! Anyway, I hope to post again soon and I will be sure to let you know if I get my volunteering challenge completed. Team V Out!
