When we first came to the organizer of the volunteer she gave us a task to go around the park to interview people with surveys about the problems about the park and how we can improve the park
Between the surveys we would join the many activities which was on going in the park, for example the entertainment there was a hypnosis, self healing speaker, and later on a magic show to appeal to the kids. We also part take in cleaning up the park by removing some of the trash.
However I was shocked that we faced some problems since some of the people at the park was unwilling to take the survey and needed to find more people.
when we came to the program we were also a bit late, but we were still able to do the survey and clean up
The experience was a fun and tiering activity as we had to walk around the park to find people to survey

The next week we started doing more constructive work by helping in cleaning up the park and setting up the booths. We first started by going around and cleaning up the park, the place was pretty dirty but it was not completely covered in trash, though at times we did get disgusted in picking up some certain trash. After cleaning up the park we helped out in setting up the booths which I really enjoyed as I had time to talk to the people working there and to know their life stories. Overall this day was pretty fun and we worked hard.

On the last week we helped out in the booths again and joined in some activities. The orginzations had many activities taken place and one of them which we helped on is a board where people can write what they are views on the park. There we helped people write on it, and we even write on it ourselves. Afterwards we were assigned to give out flyers to people about the organisation and their future plan. Overall the day was fun and was very interesting to see people's views writen on the board.
Final Reflection
Overall this program was really fun and exciting to do. The program brought me to meet new people i never met before and learned more about themselves. This also thought me the importance in keeping parks or anywhere in general clean and watch where you throw your trash. I was glad to part take into this action in trying to keep this park a more habitable place to be.
