If I were to explain to you how it is indeed possible to take part in humanitarian work by first visiting the website YouTube.com, then I would do so with the following video:
As you may very well guess by now – assuming that you actually watched the video placed above this text -, I created this video based on my experience thus far as an NYC Kitchenette. Since my start in late September I, along with fellow Have-A-Hart volunteers-turned-friends, have found it quite difficult explaining who we are to those still unaware of how powerful the YouTube community has grown to become (A more detailed description on that can be found on this past REBUILD post). I figured, therefore, that the best way to explain how such a volunteering opportunity is possible was to speak of it in a thorough series of steps I had unexpectedly followed throughout the past six months.
Though not expected in the slightest sense – never would I have thought that such opportunities could start just by stumbling upon a YouTube video on the channel MyHarto one day – , my experience thus far is remembered without regret. In fact, I look back on these past couple months with confidence that the Kitchenettes, along with other Have-A-Hart groups worldwide, are ready to grow and popularize by the start of next year.
Understanding that everyone’s experience as a Have-A-Hart volunteer (or any kind of volunteer for that matter) will inevitably differ, my main intention in uploading this video was not to gloat about past successful accomplishments, but instead to inform others that such a volunteer opportunity – one that I believe is unprecedented in its kind – is both possible and available.
UPDATE (November 18th) :
Here is a map showing where all us Kitchenettes have/will volunteer(ed) throughout 2014.
