My adventure with OnePeople.sg started in June 2014 when I joined Camp Ignite! I was from an Arabic Islamic school, Madrasah Al-Maarif Al-Islamiah, which mostly consisted of only Malays and Indian Muslims. People from my school were not used to mixing around with people of other races and religions. For 9 years of my life I lived thinking that it was best to stay within my own comfort zone, without thinking of the importance of mixing around in this multi-cultural land.
Going to Camp ignite 2014 was definitely a huge step for me as it was a real eye opener for me upon so many aspects.
I remember that by the end of camp, I was so determined to join OnePeople.sg as a volunteer and my Facilitators at that time explained to me that I can join as a volunteer after I attend the CampTeen at the end of the year. That year, my teacher only wanted to send Secondary 1s and 2s to the camp. I persevered and eventually convinced her to let the Secondary 3s take part too. I joined the camp and the experience at CampTeen 2014 really sparks off more passion to my motivation for racial harmony.
From then on, I was a volunteer and even went on to be a Facilitator of the CampTeen. I remembered not being able to sleep one night before the first day of camp. My heart was filled excitement and the memories of my participation in OnePeople.sg’s conferences and camps flooded my mind.
Being a volunteer in OnePeople.sg to promote racial harmony, I gained the opportunity to learn and develop useful leadership and social skills that helped me shape me today. Coming from a secluded environment where I only mix around with people of the same religion and rarely with the opposite gender for 9 years of my life, I could never imagine myself making so many new friends of other ethnicities. Now, I am proud to say that being social is no longer a challenge for me.
