Volunteering at I-Hotel

Volunteering at the I-Hotel Manilatown Center is a privilege. I got to learn about the history behind the hotel. This year they are having the 35th anniversary of eviction of the residents.

Why do I volunteer at the I-Hotel? It is an assignment for my class in which I have to volunteer there for a total of 8 hours for the semester (as of March 24 I have complete my hours). What I do is help with the place promote upcoming events and post up pictures from past event on Facebook. Just recently I learn how to create a video on iMovie in which it is uploaded on YouTube.

I was hesitant in helping out. The place is located in Chinatown which street parking is hard to find and parking in the garage can be expensive. I was also afraid that I did not have any time to volunteer due to my hectic work schedule. Luckily my hours at work has been cut and I manage to find time to volunteer there. I’ll admit helping out with I-Hotel change my prospected in helping out with others.

I am thankfully that I got to help out with the I-Hotel Manilatown Center. It gave me the experience of helping out a community.
