A story from Meto Selden
At this time of the pandemic, every citizen wishes to be of help to their country. “Every difficulty is an opportunity.” I also wondered what I could do within my capability to contribute to our nation. That is when my friend told me about VToB (Teachers of Bhutan Volunteers) looking for volunteers to edit videos for online teaching known as e-learning. I volunteered for it as it was a great opportunity for me to help the teachers who are trying their best to continue students’ education while all the schools in the country have been closed as a precautionary measure. Volunteering for it has made me feel that I am contributing to our nation in my own small way. When the teachers are working hard to keep their students in touch with their studies, I am glad that I can be of help. Not only am I engaged but I have also gotten to enhance my skills. Learning knows no bounds. Being a part of the VToB family has given me the opportunity to gain more knowledge and insight on the importance of education. And at such times, it really hit me hard, how not going to the classrooms to learn has such a huge impact. Knowing that I am helping the teachers to reach out to their students gives me immense pleasure.
Even staying at home is taking an opportunity in helping during such a pandemic. As the saying goes “Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results,” staying at home and wishing for the wellbeing of everyone are enough to contribute in your own way. You break the chain of the passing virus.
