Coordinating the collection and distribution of food taught me the importance of effective planning and time management, areas where I saw room for growth.

This is a valuable lesson learned by me and also taught me the importance of collaboration when addressing complex societal issues.
LO 6: Although our food donation project had a local focus, it had a great impact on my awareness of global issues. It served as a reminder that issues like hunger and poverty extend far beyond our immediate community; they affect people worldwide.
