2. I provided Childcare assistance for parents that needed it and i also participated in a food drive that took place. I helped to provide a service to people that would otherwise be unable to provide for their families. The food drive allowed me to sort non perishable food for people who can't afford to buy steady meals for their families.
3. I got a chance to work alongside others during the food drive. I encountered some people that work in the Cook County Health Department as well as members of the Little City Foundation. I was given incite on the world of non profit organizations and how they work. It was interesting to rub elbows with people in the human services profession.
4. As far as the childcare goes, I provided parents with a chance to work so they could provide their children with resources they need to develop and thrive. I feel I provided a similar service for the people who benefited from the food drive. The food was given to a local shelter that feeds the disadvantaged. the entire process allowed me to provide a service for people that needed a helping hand to get by.
5. This assignment allowed me to actually reflect upon what I was doing rather than just doing it. Through out the process I was able to think about the concepts I discussed and learn and see how they were relevant in a real world setting. This experience helped me grasp how simple it can be to help the disadvantaged helped me to understand how reward it can be to sacrifice some of your time to help someone in need
