Going back on my roots I decided to enlist in the Poland drive hoping that I could travel back to my motherland and make a difference in the future of my country. To achieve this, I attended rigorous meetings every Tuesday throughout the duration of the year. We help in various activities hoping to raise money that could bring hope to these children.
Being fluent in polish is a huge strength for me in the polish drive, however, due to travel complications, we were unable to go to the polish care home. However, during the Poland drive basement clean out I was able to help out with the cleaning process. I also find myself to be relatively active and despite being more active than last year I would like to continue improving this as much as I can.
My role in this activity previously was to act as a translator, however due to our inability to travel to Poland we were unable to reach the care home and thus I am simply an active member of the service group in which I offer to help with any Poland drive related matters such as the basement clean out. In my time in Poland, we have experienced many successes such as the basement cleanout in which we acquired objects we could sell and the apple fest which allowed us to gather funds.
Poland drive being a service group is largely based on teamwork to achieve the common goal of helping the orphan children. To do this we work collaboratively in events such as the basement cleanout or the apple fest to potentially increase our ability to help the children in need. I find the working relationship in Poland drive to be good as most of the people seem to like one another and the collaboration between the various members is almost always there. Of course, there are conflicts in the Poland drive however, these do not occur very often and are dealt with very quickly.
When joining this group the time commitment was not an issue as the meetings took place during school times, however, the idea that we would have to give up a break was the biggest difficulty for me. Nevertheless, I decided that I would not allow this to constrain me from helping and meeting the kids I met last year and thus I decided to join and sign up again for the Poland drive.
Poland drive has a huge impact on the world. It offers help to orphan children in Poland and thus does not only give the children something to look forward to every year but also has a chance to change the lives of these children. If more schools did what FIS does with the Poland drive orphan children around the world would receive a much higher degree of help thus increasing their chances of succeeding in life. Furthermore, Poland drive has opened my eyes to the problems of orphans in the world and how these children are also people with dreams and feelings, which has increased my will to help them.
This year Poland drive has taught me that we can help even without being there directly that with events such as the basement cleanup and the apple fest to acquire funds the life of kids in various orphanages around the world could be improved.
