It’s
strange for me to realize, that I had participated in the third food gathering
event, which aim is to gather food for those in need. I have this feeling
because I was able to commit for this great activity and I really start liking
it. My third event of the “Maisto Bankas” had passed similarly as those before.
I have stayed for a day in a big supermarket and promoted passing by shopers to
donate for our organization. One thing that I have found different this time is
that I was able to help newcomers to contribute more effectively in this event.
I explained them how to pursue people to donate, how to number and track the
donated items and also I told them about my previous experiences
My
goal for this activity was as same as before. I wanted to spend my time
differently, help others, have fun and meet other people. My presumptions were
met and I am happy that I hadn’t missed this event. The whole experience from
the start to the finish, when I was exhausted, yet delighted, was great and
again I had challenged myself to be as active as possible, since the problem
this event tries to solve is one of the biggest in my country. Many families have
a hard time to meet their needs because the minimal wage is not enough to fully
satisfy the needs of a new family and even if they get a few packets of food
through this organization, they would gain great help in their lives. Poverty
is horrible and I am glad that there are organization like “Maisto Bankas”, who
actually care for the well-being of disadvantageous people. After giving out
the message about this problem in this event, I feel that I had done something
to end this problem and that my and many other people contribution to this
problem is a one step to finally ending it.
I
will continue to volunteer the upcoming year and even next years, if I will be
able to. In next events I would like to make an even bigger impact and become a
supervisor of a team.
