Changing the World by Feeding Starving Children
My change the world project was about starvation in Africa. Since I couldn't actually go to Africa, I found the next best thing. Feed My Starving Children is a volunteer place in Libertyville. I went to Feed My Starving Children because I figured out that they send food to a bunch of different countries including some in Africa. My experience there was very memorable. It was nothing what I thought it would be like. When I first heard of the place, my first thoughts were we'll just be packaging food, but I was very wrong. It turns out that we actually make the food, then package it. There are different tables and at each table there are different stations. My job was the scooper, so I scooped up the food and put it in a bag. The food that we put into the bags was all the ingredients children needed. Veggies, Vitamins, Grains, and Rice. Feed My Starving Children was also a lot more fun than I expected. They blasted music, so you could sing or dance along. Teamwork was another important part. You could make up team cheers and you have to work together to get the job done. Overall, I had an awesome time and I would defiantly do it again some time soon.
