Part 5/8:
Despite the admirable spirit of service, hardships persist. Many volunteers admit that their initiatives operate on tight budgets, often relying on personal savings for nearly two years. They recognize the high costs of external supplies and the need to develop affordable, self-made solutions to serve their community better. Their motto, "We do what we can with what we have," encapsulates their pragmatic and compassionate approach.
However, these efforts are not without setbacks. Volunteers note that support remains limited, with some feeling that their contributions go unnoticed. The emotional toll is evident, as some express feelings of being undervalued or overlooked, which can dampen enthusiasm during ongoing efforts.
