This situation happened a few days ago and I was at a crowded coffee. At that time I was enjoying a peaceful afternoon with my friends. When my phone is ringing, the caller ID didn’t show any of my names and their number was unfamiliar to me. I was used to live for a split second but decided to pick it up because I think it might be something important. When I answered the call, the voice from the other end introduced themselves at a presentation from a local charity organization. They were calling to me to ask if I wanted to volunteer for an upcoming event. To be honest, at the first time I found myself getting injured by what they were talking about. They described to me about the event and how it could really benefit the community. I couldn’t help but feel a sense of excitement about the possibility of getting involved. Overall, I felt a bit taken aback in the unexpected call. I was also a bit happy because I had that call. It was somewhat unusual but it was an experience. It reminded me of how various organizations reach out to engage with the community.
