From Code to Concrete: My Journey into Physical Labor for Charity


This year, as part of a volunteering training initiative, I took on physical labor tasks at minimum wage ($15 per hour) in my community, including yard clearing, weed uprooting, and hand car washing with my team. The money we raised was donated to Art of Living Austin. The task was hard, however, it was fun and a team-bonding activity.
While it’s easy to earn $200+ per hour in IT software surveys or architecture consulting, the task was to step out of our comfort zones, set egos aside, and earn to donate.

I am so thankful to the NGO for helping me bring transformation by giving me volunteering opportunities.
