All kinds of volunteering can make a difference to society, but opportunities like these have community enrichment at their core.

Feile 2011

Well this week its all about the Feile, tomorrow the Feile Launches and what better way to start it with none other than an 18th Birthday Party. Yes Feile has been going 18 years this year so to mark it were having a party! So its been busy week getting organised for the launch playing with party decorations and making up decorations with 18 on so tomorrow should be fun. As well as that enrolling volunteers for the Feile and the summer scheme organising with those running the different events who will be volunteering with them. I have to say I've enjoyed it and working with different people too is always good. At the moment its all about organising and getting volunteers enlisted to help at events over the Feile and about enjoying the Feile events. Bit of a short entry this week but its all go at the moment.

Developing my skills

Since I last wrote I've decided not to go ahead with the BSc Community Development for a number of reasons really. So back to the drawing board for that; wondering if I will do something again going back to college or just to carry on as I am. I've been busy with my volunteer but also fitting in some time off, and even then still going in for couple of hours ha! Including signing up new volunteers and to see about volunteering for over the summer / Feile and organising for volunteers to come into do that for all the different events happening over the next month. Want to see whats going to be happening over Feile check out facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/gasyardwallfeile This week I've been shadowing the Volunteer Investment Project (VIP) Coordinator; learning about Management Reports and what to do when enrolling volunteers as well as looking at the systems in place; so that it frees up time for them to work on meeting with volunteers both current and new and helping to develop the project further. Which has been good for me and helping me to develop my skills just hope its helping the VIP Coordinator. So until next time hope everyone is enjoying the Summer
