Service Blog

I went to both Feed My Starving Children (2x) and Orphans of the storm for some of my service hours. I chose to do FMSC, because I really care about Third world countries and doing whatever I can to help others that are in need. I find it so saddening that these children are facing famine and don’t have proper medicine, clothing, or homes to live in. However, they always seem to be grinning ear to ear just because they have a phenomenal community surrounding them. At the location we packed rice, protein, soy, and vegetables. They told us that it had to be these specific ingredients because they were the cheapest for the most products and that practically anywhere in the world; they know hot to cook it, just by observing that rice is apart of the ingredients. I have done this community service in the past and decide to do it again because it was enjoyable and obviously have a great impact on others. As for orphans of the storm, I was surprised because volunteers have to be trained and apply to actually work there and take care of the animals, however I still went and I was able to feed and send time with the animals. This is important to humans too because animals change the lives of people. They have such a great and most of the time positive impact on others. Therefore, taking care of animals is taking care of something that potentially can completely improve and change a person's life. I also donated all my clothes, books, furniture to my mover because he told me that his children didnt have any of the things that I was going to throw out anyways. I was crazy to see how "one persons trash is another persons treasure" His eyes lit up when I told him  that he could take anything he needed, it was amazing to see. Also, I was a give a thon leader which provided gifts for children during this holiday season who's families couldn't afford the gifts.
