Interact Club And Its Impact On The Community-Ethiopia

Decent Essays
Interact Club is an organization that I am proud to be a part of. As co-president, I get the opportunity to choose various service projects such as Feed the Hungry, Salvation Army, and Special Olympics. Volunteering with Feed the Hungry was one of the most pleasant experiences I’ve had as it allowed me to make a direct impact on the community-Ethiopia. We were given the opportunity to pack food that would be shipped off to the malnourished there. As a team, the other members and I packed over a thousand bags of food. This was a group effort, to be able to pack these bags efficiently and accurately. I designated everyone their individual tasks and it was up to them to master the skill. Every single member of our club played an important role

    Volunteering at Veterans Affairs Medical Center was one of the greatest experience I've ever had. Sitting down with the elderly and getting to know them, I noticed if more teens could actually sit down and take the time to talk to an elderly person they could gain an opulent amount of knowledge. Sitting down and getting to talk an innumerable amount of veterans as I could, I was intrigued by how each person had a story of their own going through WWII. Voluntarily, I was able to contribute to the organization by having open conversations with the veterans, providing beverages, and having a great time. It wasn't till the end of the program when my perception began to change about the organization I volunteered for, it's more than just about kids…
