very person has the potential to be a leader, some are born naturally to become one and each one of us has a soft spot for helping those who are in need without hesitation. Trying to put yourself in their shoes helps you more
understand them as a person. The passion of doing charity works that could bring a ray of hope to someone whose life is in despair, a comfort that might bring smiles to their faces, and being sympathetic to their feelings while listening to their problems could lighten their burdens surprisingly. Doing this kind of thing brings satisfying contentment in yourself without knowing that it also helps you grow to be a better person. It was embedded in her ever since she was a kid, to help and render service to other people in the best way she can without asking anything in return. Lynadel, strongly believes that values are the motive behind a purposeful action and it is the most important thing in the way you live and work. “I value hospitality and respect more than anything else. It determines my priorities and they are the measures I use to tell if my life is turning out the way I want it to”. Walking down to the path she loves doing, being a peer facilitator was the best decision she has ever made. Back then, she was hesitant to join but deep down she realizes that she needs to be in the organization whatever it takes. Her efforts weren’t put to waste as her enthusiastic attitude towards work and responsibility pays off as events and activities were made to happen with the benevolent help and support from everyone.
