Oh My Gosh... Best Day of My Life!!

Hello my lovelies! I am making this intro short, just to get right into it. We have been doing volunteering. Enjoy my blog!

So a few weeks ago, we did volunteering for places around the city. We had a few choices to choose from, but they all sounded very neat. Our choices were, graffiti removal, food bank or the curtain bank! We had first choice, second choice and third choice to choose from out of those three. I chose the graffiti removal as my first choice, the food bank as my second, and the curtain bank as my third. I got selected for the curtain bank. Now I have to be honest, I wasn't expecting what I was just about to walk into. We walked into a clean room, advertising some of their curtains, our guide led us into the back, then we saw where it all started. Curtains piled high on shelves, held in racks, everywhere, it was a forest of curtains, a sea of colours, we only had the blink of an eye to take in this truckload of colours. But that was only the beginning. Our guide led us through to another room. This was mayhem! The first thing you saw was the pile of curtains, one on top of another, on top of another! It was bonkers! I breathed in the musty smell and smiled at the dusty smell, I heard some others coughing gently behind me, the dust settling and blowing up at our paces. We gazed around at the other workers working to make new curtains. We looked at the mountain of curtains awaiting our climb. We started by learning what exactly we were supposed to be doing. We needed to fold our curtains and measure them. Easy enough? No. You must forget how big and heavy curtains are. Well let me remind you. You need two people to lift it. It weighs about, I don't know, ten to fifteen kg's. We had to measure the length of the curtain, fold it, measure the width, and times it by two since we folded it. Someone would be writing all this information down on a card. Seemed simple. We were told to get into groups of three. I got with two of my friends, Piper and Makayla. I started off writing and watching the others doing the dirty work. I thought it was funny how hard it seemed. We finished our first curtain. On to the second. We did this and next we had to put them in a bag. I stapled the measurements to the curtain, and paired it with the others in that set that matched the measurements of the first. Then it was my turn to lit them. Heavy curtains, dust blowing, you and your friends laughing. It was great fun. The quote of the day was
"Oh gosh, that curtain is VERY widthy" Said by Piper. After all our hard work we got a lunch break. I played cards with some of my friends. Then we had another forty five minutes to finish up that set, and if you were done early, start a quick new one. Finally, we were left with a brochure about the curtain bank.
Overall I had a lot of fun for the day. I have come to realise how valuable peoples time to come and volunteer. People should help out more often, and it really does make you feel so good about what you have done, and the appreciative looks you get. It is truly magical.

I hope you all enjoyed my blog today, and this inspires you too to help out. Have you ever done anything like this? Tell me in the comments! Anyways, that wraps us up for today. Hope you all enjoyed! Bye! ❤️
