Hi everyone. I am not sure how many of you were able to make the “Feed My Starving Children” service opportunity, but I wanted to take a minute to thank Professor McGuire to opening our eyes to such a great leaning experience. Withought a service opportunity being mandatory to our class, I have to admit that I would not have done anything like this due to my crazy schedule. It was amazing that with the little time we put in, we were able to feed 19 children for a year. Our assembly group talked during the time we had together about how we take what we have for granted. I left feeling guilty for the accesive amount of food I consume on a daily basis when the children of Haiti and other areas are surviving and very grateful for the cup of food they recieve a day. Thank you for opening my eyes and making me grateful for everything I have.

Sounds great Kelly – I’m not local but hope to do something very similar here soon. Your post made me excited to give this volunteering thing a try.

I know. This was definitely a life-changing experience to say the least. I can’t wait to write on it! It was great to meet you too Kelly!

Kelly, I agree, it was a great learning experience. I attended the “Feed My Starving Children” service also along with my kids. It was such a wonderful experience for myself and them. The first thing they said when it was over was “I want to come back.” That touched me. I knew they would walk away feeling good about helping, but to hear them say that as soon as we were told to stop, really touched me. The entire ride home it made them really think about how much food they throw away and even said they were willing to eat just a cup of food a day to see how those kids felt. Although, that didn’t last long, I know the learning experience will! We will for sure be making many more trips back there.
