Max Fried-3/13/10-5th Visit-Village Temple

For our last visit I went with Taliana, Will, and Ruby G.  I brought my flip camera so that we could interview some people at the soup kitchen.  We ended up using the camera, and getting three great interviews.

Throughout all of our visits I think that the fifth and last visit was the greatest experience for me.  During each visit I would ask some of the workers if there was anything that I could do to give myself some more work.  By the final visit I already knew all of the things that I could do at the Village Temple that I ended up having no free time.  This was a complete transformation from my first visit which I was bored and I ended up sitting down and not doing much work.  We started of with the usual.  We cut vegetables for the soup, made sandwiches and then bagged the sandwiches.  Then Will and I went to Knickerbockers and  Trader Joe’s. On this day Trader Joe’s was all out of bread but one of the volunteers gave us some money to get some bread at a local supermarket.  I took a lot from this experience.  I learned many things and got to help out the hungry people in my community.  I am very glad that I chose to help out the Village Temple, and I wouldn’t take back this experience that I had with my peers.
