Evelina means 'gives life' in Italian. Italy is my favourite country in Europe and so is Evelina my favourite place in London. Every Saturday when I cross Westminster Bridge, the weather was peculiarly nice and clear which is very uncommon as we all know. I hope more people can taste this weirdly and remarkably rewarding experience of volunteering at Evelina. 

Evelina is my refuge - the location itself as well as the time that I spend with the patients and their families in the hospital. I am more than ready to dedicate my time to make sure the volunteers, the staff members and the patients feel safe and happy. I have volunteered as an academic mentor and tutor at Jenam Residential Centre for Children for 4 years, both as a member and a leader. During school lockdowns, I have initiated a lunchbox donation campaign for the children in need who could not get their government-funded meals from school. These experiences allowed me to learn how to communicate with the team members and the coordinators at different institutions. 

After all, I want to make sure every student volunteer returns home after being fully charged from Evelina. I will try my best to listen to every voice and make real changes.
