This year our school organised food donation drives for the underprivileged ones, who can barely satisfy their needs of food and clean water. I really enjoyed this drive not just for the sake of saying but soulfully, it was peaceful and joyful for looking those needy ones fill their stomach. Engaging in these drives has been a transformative experience, pushing me beyond my comfort zone and deepening my understanding of the power of community service.

LO1:

One of the strengths that I discovered during the food donation drives was my ability to collaborate effectively within a team. Working alongside my peers, we organized and executed various aspects of the donation drives, from planning logistics to promoting the events within the school community.

LO4:

Throughout the planning and execution phases of the food donation drives, I encountered numerous challenges that required a steadfast commitment to the cause. Coordinating with team members, reaching out to the community, and ensuring the smooth flow of the donation process demanded unwavering dedication. I showed my perseverance by missing classes and going to the drives, despite the learning losses.

LO6:

The food donation drives made me acutely aware of the global significance of hunger and food insecurity. While our efforts were directed towards our local community, the broader context of food scarcity and its impact on individuals worldwide became evident. The drive served as a microcosm, allowing me to recognize the interconnectedness of our actions with a global issue

LO7:

Through my engagement in food donation drives, I became acutely aware of the impact of my actions on the lives of those less fortunate. Seeing the gratitude and relief on the faces of individuals and families receiving the donated food reinforced the ethical responsibility we have to address issues of hunger in our community. These included considerations about the quality and nutritional value of the donated items, ensuring fairness in distribution, and respecting the dignity of recipients. Reflecting on these decisions allowed me to recognize the complexity of ethical considerations and the importance of making choices that align with the values of fairness, compassion, and respect for human dignity.
