Last week while volunteering at the Temple, it was an exciting time because the Temple was celebrating a large festival called Holy. There were about 2,000 people that visited the temple that day, so Instead of having the medical clinic we put a booth out to inform people about what we have to offer at the clinics. It was exciting because it was different from what I normally do, and now I was able to represent part of what the medical clinics have to offer. I helped create brochures for the clinics, and gave temple goers information about clinic hours and how to set up appointments. It was nice to be able to give back to the community in a different way, not just helping in the clinic but helping with behind the scenes aspects of the clinic. This way, I was able to grasp a lot more of what the clinic actually entails since I had to pass on the information to others. It helps me to understand why I am doing what I'm doing, and now I know the logistics behind the clinic as well!

That sounds like a great way to become more aware of the value of your particular organization. It's good to hear you have been able to participate in a wide range of different events through your volunteer position.
