After avoiding for 3 years, I finally took up the challenge to contribute back to Asiaworks. I volunteered to staff before my new job started. Oh yea, I got a new job offered that doubles my current pay. 'Staff' in Asiaworks context means, to be a small group leader and encourages the participants of the training to explore what are the possibilities in their choices and in their life.
It has been a tiring month for me, juggling between family, work and in addition to that, I am committed to these people who has chosen to transform their life. Never thought it is that tough, but just because of that, I have new level of understanding about the term 'Staffing'. I used to think that 'staffing' is just to call the participants up and check on their homework, pretty much the mechanical part of being a small group leader to facilitate the training room as conducive as possible. It is actually more than that. The trainer's word that struck me about staffing, is about the tenderness & closeness of handling these people, love them unconditionally and its like how a mother nurture their baby. I suddenly felt I am actually full, a love filled person who can love a stranger unconditionally and nurture them like my own baby. It is how much passion I put on them that has led them in making the choice to transform their life. It has been very profound journey to me for the whole 1 month.
And the one last important message I got is:- It is a gift from GOD to be able to see greatness in every single human being and recognise each one of them as the masterpiece of God!
