From 16th – 19th November, I went to Tulamben beach in Bali for three diving lessons. In addition to that, I also joined in a charity event which supports orphanages and I also helped with a beach cleanup.

I needed to organize an itinerary for the trip to work out the dates and times of the events around my diving sessions, in order to have the most efficient trip. I organized for the charity event on the first day before my first dive, I had another diving session the following day, then I went on to the beach cleaning activity after that. I finished my trip with two dives on the final day.

I discovered that I have to show more empathy towards others, especially those in need when participating in the charity event. In addition to that, I feel like I have to contribute more towards nature and the environment.

I learnt that there are a lot of people in need, and that I should be grateful for what I have. I also learnt that we have to protect and cherish our environment.
