For 12 years, we’ve successfully hosted annual cricket events, and this year, we’re introducing football. With participation from 150+ corporations and consistent support from dignitaries, our event has been widely covered by major media outlets.

Be dependable. Do what you say you’ll do, and do your best. Don’t show up late, and always keep your promises. People will be relying on you so you don’t want to let them down. Be enthusiastic. Don’t moan and groan your way through your volunteer work. If you really don’t like what you’re doing, find something else. Always have a positive attitude and show others that you’re doing this because you WANT to.
