I spent my late teens building a community and leading others to serve. And I wouldn’t trade the experience for any other.

Community Heroes : I gave free music lessons to underserved kids. Over time, we became a close-knit family

Scaling up quickly meant that Reso now had to support three weekly music programmes for our beneficiaries. We had to move fast to build some semblance of a curriculum and develop our first team structure.Providing free instruments was important to us, so we had to quickly raise funds through T-shirt sales to recoup the hundreds of dollars we had already spent on the first tranche of ukuleles.

To my kids, I became affectionately known as “bird's nest hair”. It was always a joy to be greeted by the stampede of primary schoolers excited to see us. Despite not being able to serve physically, we pivoted towards improving our systems, teams and curriculum instead. Over time, our volunteers began to see Reso as a circle of trusted friends and something we found worth investing.Our team identity also began to form — along with many friendships.
