Speak to Lead - Michelle

The Story

I am Michelle form Incoming Global Volunteer, AIESEC in HELP University. I joined the team

in February 2020. 1 month later, there’re 3 more people joined us and become a team of 6

people. 6 of us have been working on a same thing, a volunteering project. Despite the

challenges, the harsh environment and rapid changes, we never gave up on this project, because

we believe that it can bring impact for the people who needs it.

Our project focuses on SDG 4, quality education. We hope to build Malaysian high school

students’ confidence in speaking English, especially students in rural areas who have less

opportunity to speak in English. This is quite relevant for me as I was not good in speaking

English when I first came to university. It makes me feel unconfident and lose a few chances to

voice out my opinions. Besides, we hope to provide them hands on and cross subjects learning

based on STEM. During my primary and secondary school time, I like hands on learning so

much as it is one of the effective ways for me to learn; so, I hope to bring this method to the

students now to raise their interest on learning.

We hope everyone who see this would join our action in creating impact among Malaysian

students. You might not see a big impact for this project, we believe there’s always a student

who would become better because of what we have done. Thank you!
