My Passion: Multicultural Interaction and Volunteering
As someone who has had the opportunity to travel to different places and see varied cultures, I have developed a unique hobby, that of bringing together people and thoughts of different cultures, races, ethnicities and backgrounds which I achieve via offering volunteering opportunities as it helps those in need and at the same time encourages interaction of people from different backgrounds.
I have come to feel now that this has become more of a passion than just a hobby. Basically, I love to meet people and interact with them on different topics, be it personal, professional, political or others. And the volunteering helps me give back to the community in whatever little way possible. Over time, I have found that a lot of people wanted to do something similar to this but never found a platform to. I like to bring together people who may be a little introvert and mix them with those who like to talk, are expressive and who can prod those not as extrovert to talk and become an active part in the discussions because their ethnic background is something they are most comfortable to talk about. And when everyone talks about their race, their religion, their ethnicity, they realize how much similarity there is amongst all and that in turn helps them to come together to help communities as a whole.
I feel interacting with people from all backgrounds, besides bringing people together and volunteering for the betterment of the community as a whole, also helps in making a well-rounded personality of an individual.
I am trying to encourage people to do something or the other to give back to the community, it doesn't have to be financial only, any sort of volunteer service is a good start and it can make a whole lot of difference in many lives.
It sounds like you have a lot of positive things to bring. I ABSOLUETELY love this. Over the past year and a half I have dedicated myself to being happy and seeing the bright side of things. In my mind the glass is ALWAYS half full. It doesn't spill. Some might leak out, but you can fill it back up. You should consider reading the book Delivering Happiness. I will enjoy following your blog and the experiences you will be bringing to the table. People need to embrace the fact that we live in a diverse society.
