Through her time spent volunteering, Hannah has developed valuable skills in connecting with others, engaging in meaningful conversations, and meeting new people.
The favourite thing she has learnt however, is developing her skills around her love of coffee.
“What I love about volunteering with coffee is that it engages all my senses—the smell, the noise of the machine, the taste, and the look of people enjoying it”.
For Hannah, the best part of volunteering is also the friendships she’s formed along the way.
“Cooinda feels like a home and a place I belong…. It is where my people are”.
So next time you visit Chatty Cafe at Trott Park or Cooinda Café, be sure to say hi to Hannah!
You’ll not only enjoy a delicious cup of coffee but be greeted with a friendly smile.
