The demographic of the organization is mainly youth based but has a strong following amongst the older members of the community.I have volunteered my services free of charge to this project. As a purchasing professional, I have offered my time and skill to maximize the benefits that the organization might enjoy from corporate sponsorship and donations. I have been an active member with MYAA since 2005 and enjoying it to the fullest.

HOBBIES AND INTERESTSI am a very social person, and enjoy good food and dancing with my friends and family. Along with these, I like reading and watching movies at the cinema, as well as enjoying nature. I love the ocean and plan to pursue my boyhood interest in surfing soon. I am also interested in traveling abroad and will grasp any opportunity that might present itself in future.

CONCLUSIONI am an easily motivated, competent and organized worker, and have acquired a wealth of experience in my career, which is mainly because I have sampled various industries. Furthermore, I am a quick learner, of a pleasant disposition and optimistic by nature, which traits have helped me make a success of whatever I set out to accomplish in the past, and, I trust, in my future endeavors. I trust too, that

you will consider my application favorably, and can assure you that I will do my utmost to be an asset to your organization.
