A university graduate highlighted the importance of volunteering, pointing out it helped her in her learning experience.

Natalie Bonello, who yesterday obtained a bachelor of science honours degree in applied biomedical science, told peers her volunteering experience not only “taught me but changed me”.

Working with children for the Sisters of the Poor in Naples made her realise that “you can [either] be self-indulgent and put yourself before everyone else or be humble, where you value others more than yourself”.

She linked this “wonderful experience” to university life. “Like most of the other students here, I have learnt that it isn’t all about sunshine and rainbows, but that is part of life – a life that can be mean.” However, even if there were times when they felt like giving up, the graduates fought to get on their feet, Ms Bonello said.
