‎السلام عليكم  ورحمة الله وبركاته  Bismillah, 

I’ve volunteered a few times for 1EID back in 2017/18 and Alhamdulillah it was a beautiful experience to see many smiles and happy faces on that day. As a volunteer I always had something to do there was no time to be bored as the leaders always made sure everyone had a role. It was also good working together with the other volunteers meeting sisters of different ages, from different places, we had fun, laughed together and helped each other. 

The main organisers and the leader volunteers worked so hard and gave a lot of their time to make sure everything ran smoothly even days before the actual event and after! Any issues were dealt with accordingly setting a good example to us all. 

One thing I also like was that they maintained a good boundary between the brothers and sisters as there was a female and male leader always within reach. The best part of it all was at the end of the event when us volunteers got to go on any of the rides for free for as many times! Overall I can say, although it was a long, tiring but rewarding day I had a really pleasant experience, was well looked after and I’d recommend any young person to consider taking the role especially if they don’t usually do much for Eid or if they’re revert as I understand Eid can be a lonely time for them, these events give you a sense of community and it’s a way to meet/ get to know others. 

Even for myself personally I’m happy to say I met one of my closest friends to this day when I became a volunteer For 1Eid Alhamdulillah. I hope my experience can encourage others to try it out in the future InShaaAllah.
