That’s fair. I’ve done some small charity work, like food bank, packaging clothing/food, help local places via habitat for humanity. I really enjoyed those but that was more because it was with people I knew. I don’t mind meeting people, so I’m sure the experience will be fine either way.
I don’t have any amazing skills. I’m just a gamer and a fantasy nerd. I’ve worked at an ace hardware for 10 years so I have some home improvement knowledge but I never owned my own house so I only have knowledge of how to do things, not hands on experience.
Honestly, having both kinds of charities would be ideal. Being able to help globally and Sri have time for local stuff would be ideal, I just don’t know enough about all this and when I reach out to these big places for help, they just want me to join them instead of trying to help me find something suitable.
I’m in an ad min in my current job, handling around 10 mil+ revenue, I’m not sure if that counts towards large scale contracts. But since I’ve got the experience, I’ll definitely reach out and see what comes of it.
True, I didn’t think of that. However, my boss is extremely generous. Our whole team is getting a year off to do charity work for a whole year. So our salaries are paid for the year and during this time, the only thing he’s asking is to help others. Honestly it’s a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what I can do. I wasn’t too worried about not having anything to show for it but I guess I should?
I really appreciate this break down. I’ll have to talk to my team and bring this up during our next weekly meeting. Hopefully the others will get some ideas out of this.
