In addition
, I love working with adults since it gives me a lot of pleasure. Let me provide you with some details of my past experiences working with adults. As I mentioned above, I have been an active member of the Lion's Club for 10 years now, and I have enough experience doing similar projects with them.
Moreover

Last
but not least, I am good at singing, I can sing songs from the 70s, my grandparents love those very much. I hope these skills will be useful to the event. If you need more information, please contact me on my mobile, and I look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely, Supun
