Yumna Zawahir explained how assisting community members was an emotionally uplifting experience for her: “Volunteering allows
you to change people’s lives, including your own. Working on this project gave me the satisfaction of playing a role in someone’s life,
helping people who may not be able to help themselves. It gave me the opportunity to give back to my community while developing
important social skills and gaining valuable work experience.”
