In our inaugural charitable event, Liontrust participated in a ‘reverse volunteering’ event held by Metta School Alumni where the students taught us to do batik painting…


Reverse volunteering’ begin when the alumni members guided us on the techniques on how to create the framework for batik painting. The coordinator shared that reverse volunteering helps the alumni members to gain confidence and social skills by putting forth what they have learnt into teaching others.

It was a very interesting event as many of us felt that were back to school once again having art lessons. Some of us have not had any experience in batik painting and made a mess of everything. The friendship between the teachers and Liontrust develop quickly and many laughter and giggling could be heard. Each team of student and teacher try to outdo the other in good fun.
The session ended with each member of Liontrust showing off their “masterpieces”. We were very appreciative of the patience that the teachers have given us.
Laughter and smiles filled the air!
It was a joyful and fun experience for Liontrust and the alumni. One of the alumni said: ‘Today I am happy that all of you are here!’ When asked why that was so, he replied ‘that’s because I made new friends!’
Serving and making meaningful contributions to the community are values embraced by Liontrust. Through such community outreach activities, Liontrust hope to serve the needs of its community as well as engaging its employees with the right values.
