As I was once a beneficiary to the newcomer aids, I am excited to volunteer with Truly Alive Youth and Family Foundation Inc as a Mandarin interpreter. This volunteer opportunity has introduced me back to my Chinese heritage and regained some old knowledge back. Since my Mandarin and English language proficiency has developed and I have become capable to help others, I would like to switch my identity from an aid receiver to a support giver. This is ethical, and encouraging for the community! Katrina Sha
