Olivia-3/4/10-Aids Walk Volunteer Work

On Thursday night, my social justice group and I traveled to West 24th street to help the AIDS Walk organization package posters and fliers for schools and businesses to display prior to the AIDS Walk. The goal was to inspire people in NYC to participate in the AIDS Walk on May 16 and raise money to find a cure for the disease. We were led up to a warehouse on the third floor by Sean Sheppard, the volunteer coordinator, where a group of other volunteers were sitting at tables boxing posters. Sean Sheppard and the other organization leaders were very kind and grateful towards us. My group and I split the work into separate jobs, the way we had on our previous visit, and this was an easy way of completing the job by using teamwork. Though the visit wasn’t long, by the end we were proud that we had helped out to spread the word about an important event.
