Haiti is Hungry! - Volunteering at Feed my Starving Children                                                   Written by Ava Trana

            Feed my Starving Children always needs volunteers. That's why the adolescents chose to volunteer at this charitable organization for our community service project. When we arrived, we put on hair nets and sat down for the greeting and introduction. The woman that greeted us was very enthusiastic and clearly happy about her work. She told us how to make the food and how our food would benefit Haiti, the country we were going to send the food to. Then we washed our hands and got started. The six jobs that were needed to work one of the stations include the food scoopers, the baggers, the sealer, and the box packer. Other jobs that were needed consist of the warehouse operators who pack the boxes onto crates, and the supply replacers who made sure we had all the supplies we needed. 

                    While we were making the food, I felt so happy to be able to help those in need. I thought about those people in Haiti that wouldn't have to worry about getting their food that day. It just comes in a box and they eat it. How happy they must be. We make time for things we care about such as sports, our favorite TV show, being with friends, our pets, music, and much much more. We need to start thinking and caring about those in need, especially those who are starving. Let's make time for those that we care about.
