My Work Experience The holiday club is a tradition of the Hounslow West Evangelical Church. It is situated on 22 Vicarage Farm Road, Hounslow, Middlesex, TW3 4NW. This activity has to do with little children between the ages of 3 and 11. It takes place during the summer holiday and it is a five day programme in August. Before the beginning of the holiday club the executives, that is the Pastor and his wife, the elders and the youth fellowship, make a plan with various concepts two months before the programme. I am a member of the youth fellowship and this is how my work experience begins. The executives hold a meeting once a week usually on Sundays after church service to plan ahead for the programme. All members of the executives participate and divide themselves into various activities. The pastor and the wife are in charge of donating money, organise the place where the activity will take place. The elders arrange for the health papers, plans for food and the information / letters to the children's parents. The members of the youth fellowship which I am, have to produce leaflets, put up a sign-post about the programmes, form activities for the children to do when they come, also to make the children welcome. All these activities require a lot of time for the preparations. As the secretary of the youth executive I had to take minutes of the meetings, note each new addition to the plan, inform the members of the executives if the new plan is worthwhile, and make adjustments. All this was very interesting for me because it took place during the holidays and I had a lot of time to put all my effort to result in success. I... ... middle of paper ... ...o relate with my co-workers especially with the elders I learnt how to obey instructions from people higher than I am. I faced just a single problem at the beginning. I did things on my own, I didn't seek advice from anyone. After sometime I got stranded with my organisation, and I had to seek advice from the president as this was my first time of being a secretary. I learnt through this the importance of 'team work'. My problem was solved because I sought information from someone who knew more than I. Finally and in conclusion, I would like to say how much I enjoyed myself. I learnt the importance of team work, I also felt responsible and I feel with this experience in future if I have another chance with children I would do well. I now look forward to next year's holiday club and I look hope to participate in it.
