Before attending the Festival Beach Community Garden, I was unaware of the lack of gardens in the city of Austin. Food deserts invaded south of I35. I am extremely glad I got to attend for I am well informed and the company was great. Everyone there was so kind, I simply cannot wait to go back!
This volunteering experience truly was one of my most memorable. Getting to work with preschoolers is one of my favorite things, especially having the privileged to freely draw hennas on them, twas a blast. The teachers at Starbright were wonderful and very welcoming! I am without a doubt looking forward to any other volunteer opportunities they will have in the future.
After attending this event which occurs once a month, I have been motivated to proceed attending the following projects. We collected ourselves in the Mosque, and gathered hygiene products to donate to individuals in the homeless shelter. The act of physically traveling and handing the resources, and helping the homeless in the downtown Austin area is satisfying and most definitely heart warming.
