Participating in the YSS Students Volunteer Mission in Kampung Merotai Besar, Tawau, Sabah, was a life-changing experience that touched me deeply. Standing among children who struggled with limited access to education, food, and basic necessities, I felt both heartache and a strong sense of responsibility. During this journey, I was humbled to receive the Star Golden Hearts Award 2025 as the youngest recipient in history.<\/p>\n
My love for volunteering began in childhood, when I accompanied my grandmother to orphanages. I remember helping her cook meals for the children and seeing their eyes light up with joy despite their hardships. That simple act made me promise my younger self that when I grew up, I would dedicate my life to changing their lives.<\/p>\n
Through YSS, I learned that acts of kindness, however small, carry immense power. To all youth and alumni: never underestimate the impact you can have on someone’s life \u2014 it matters more than you realize.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":137,"template":"","alumni_region":[19],"class_list":["post-54","alumni","type-alumni","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","alumni_region-malaysia"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sukarelawansiswa.my\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alumni\/54","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sukarelawansiswa.my\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alumni"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sukarelawansiswa.my\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/alumni"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sukarelawansiswa.my\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/137"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sukarelawansiswa.my\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=54"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"alumni_region","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sukarelawansiswa.my\/bm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alumni_region?post=54"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
