Sudden realisation...

When I was at Grace place today, someone asked me this question, what's the BEADS project about. I thought for a while then realised how little that I know of the project. So now back home I started searching the LC-NTU's blog and I came across this -

What is BEADS all about?
Being Engaged And Dynamic in Society

What are our aims?
Over the academic year 07-08 we aim to provide:

- Capacity building for Non-Profit Organisations
- Awareness building and fund raising around the issue of HIV/AIDS
- More volunteerism opportunities for young people

If you are interested in knowing more about social entrepreneurship, volunteering to work for HIV/AIDS patients in Singapore, embarking on overseas community building programs and work with other NGOs, then come and join us!

I then realised how little I know about the projects that are being organised. Even those conferences that I had joined - such as Ripples and START! conference that I joined earlier as a participant, faci faded away deep within my mind.

The fact of this realisation meant that I need to be more aware of what I'm doing, to have a clear focus / vision before, during and after each event so as to effectively share my knowledge that I gained from the conference instead of appearing like a dummy to those who seek that knowledge.

This will definitely be a work in progress and it does not only apply to AIESEC events but to all my daily activities - to know my goal, how my actions will contribute to it as well as a clear vision of what is to come.
