Pavithra’s volunteer story

Pavithra is one of the youngest volunteers at Redkite, working our fundraising team to show our supporters how much they mean to us.

Pavithra started volunteering with Redkite in September 2023 with our fundraising team. Her role as a volunteer includes calling Redkite supporters and donors to thank them for their ongoing support.  

“I personally thank them for their donations and assist them with any queries that they may have regarding their contributions. 

“Additionally, I occasionally write thank you notes that are included in the mail to be sent out to donors, to show appreciation to them!” 

As a university student, Pavithra is one of the youngest volunteers at Redkite. 

“I volunteer with Redkite because I am passionate about making a positive impact in the lives of children with cancer and their families. It gives me a sense of purpose and fulfilment, knowing that my efforts contribute to a cause that truly matters.” 

“It’s gratifying to know that these small gestures can brighten someone’s day and strengthen their connection to Redkite.”

Volunteering is “a great way to give back” and make a difference, Pavithra said. 

“It provides an immense sense of fulfilment and purpose, knowing that your efforts are contributing to a worthy cause. I believe it’s a rewarding experience that anyone can benefit from and enjoy!” 

We are grateful to volunteers like Pavithra who play such an important role at Redkite, making sure our wonderful community of supporters know how much they mean to us and the families we support.
