In the beginning of November Operation Smile at Boston University volunteered at the Zoo Howl at Franklin Park Zoo. Volunteers dressed up in costumes and helped with a variety of activities around the park. Some of us handed out candy to children at stations next to animal exhibits. Other volunteers helped out with a haunted maze. After the event, volunteers helped the zoo staff clean up the park. This event allowed our club to interact with and give back to people in our own community, while spreading awareness about Operation Smile in the Boston area.
So why is this relevant to Operation Smile Student Programs?
OS BU works to spread awareness, educate children, and promote philanthropy. Operation Smile BU also got to bond as a club, helping us to work more effectively on future initiatives. Sometimes it's especially difficult to raise funds in a college setting. by working on other volunteer opportunities, students can learn how they can be the change they want to see in the world, no matter what.
