Volunteer Story by Priscilla Correa-Hiromi

Volunteer of the Month, August 2018

• What inspired me to become a Hepatitis Victoria Volunteer 

I was interested in learning more about the organization and the activities developed to advocate for people with hepatitis. I also wanted to learn more about hepatitis and its treatments.

• My favourite Hepatitis Victoria sessions or moments

I have always enjoyed the community participation and health promotion events, the festivals etc. They are a great opportunity to spread information and engage with the public. I have enjoyed to be involved in developing resources for the organization too, it’s quite a massive learning experience.

• What tips do I have for new volunteers

Just start and join as many activities as you can. Everybody will be friendly and welcoming, you will be in a safe space, meet many people and learn a lot.
