Meal Packing for Children Around the World

During my week volunteering at Feed My Starving Children in Minnesota over Fall Break, I had an amazing experience. I was able to connect and meet other volunteers, understanding what drives them to serve others, especially for this organization. Throughout each day, I helped pack food for children in different parts of Africa by putting together packets full of proteins, carbohydrates, and vegetables. This process was extremely fun and enjoyable, as it served as a competition to see which station packaged the most boxes. Once we finished packaging the meals, we said a prayer over the boxes before they go out for delivery. Overall, this experience taught me how important basic meals are in our everyday lives and how fun it is to help others.
