I volunteered at the ICC athletics meet. I helped with measuring the distances for all three throwing events for men and women (shotput, discus, javelin).

I attended a Blue Bus Leadership workshop, where we learned about the ways different companies are managed using the metaphor of a blue, red, and green bus. We also talked about being an upstander instead of a bystander (taking action rather than simply observing) and rewiring the software of a company or a person in order to change the hardware.

We did bushcare, where we raked a pile of mulch and moved it closer to the riverbed so that grass can grow where the mulch was before.

I helped Andrew out with a photoshoot for Heineken beers, who had kindly donated beers to King’s for formal events.

As a part of SHE-week, we did Just Dance and Trivia in the JCR. I created and led the trivia as well as the just dance. This was part of a larger initiative to bring girls at King’s closer together and foster an environment where women feel empowered.

We did pilates & scones in the JCR to kick off SHE-week. I was part of the organizing committee for the week and decided to join in on Monday morning pilates.

Today we sold raffle tickets for 50/50 raffle. Half of the profits went to the organization youngcare, which aims at helping young people with physical disabilities by providing accommodation and educating other Australians on stigma surrounding people with disabilities. We walked around Suncorp stadium for about 5 hours selling raffle tickets, promoting youngcare as much as we could.

Today, we helped prepare meals for people around Australia who struggle with food insecurity. We did tasks such as weighing various foods to package, and actually packaging the food. This initiative is very important as not only is food waste reduced (food is donated from grocery stores and restaurants that would otherwise go to waste), but various Australians get to improve their quality of life with nutritious meals.
