The Amazing VolunFlex Team
Anderson Lam, Malaysia
Founder of VolunFlex
Hi Everyone, I am Anderson Lam, an International Student from Malaysia studying at Foothill College, CA. During the Covid-19 pandemic, everyone in the world suffers through hardships, and we, VolunFlex, a student volunteering community, are willing to give back to the society that builds us. All the projects in VolunFlex allow me to understand and experience other people's situations that I have never anticipated. I joined VolunFlex with the vision and drive to improve upon our Volunteer Organization, and focused on developing the organization with experience and integrity. The goal of this organization actually allows everyone to has a chance to explore things that they have never thought of so they could build confidence and skills throughout the projects. Bringing people from different countries and connect them together is also one of the communities that I want to build regardless of backgrounds, culture, beliefs, and colleges.
I wish, and I hope that I can give back to the community by volunteering in every single available opportunity.

Hello, everyone! I am Zhilin from China, studying chemical biology at Foothill College. Because of COVID-19, we cannot meet, hug and say hello to our friends as before. Because of COVID-19, we have been missing those days of normal life, but also found the serendipitous happiness when we are home and with the family together. Also, because of COVID-19, we are here and willing to help more and more people who really need help indeed in every respect. Maybe my personal strength is small, but the flames are higher when everybody gathers fuel. In this Volunflex family, I firmly believe that we will create a better community with this group of enthusiastic young people.
