The work was scheduled to last for 2 hours. During the session, everyone was divided into several groups and we all worked together on various tasks: some people sorted vegetables, others packaged eggs, some checked product quality, while my main responsibility was arranging and portioning apples and green beans into individual bags.
​
We worked continuously, with everyone focused and trying to complete the tasks quickly, but still carefully, to ensure the food wasn't damaged. After 2 hours, my group had completed 660 bags of food, equivalent to over 1,380 pounds of goods. When we heard that number, everyone was very happy and proud that we had been able to contribute so much in such a short time.
​
Initially, I thought this was just an ordinary work session, but when I saw the boxes of food being shipped out, I began to understand the true meaning of this work. Every bag of food can provide a complete meal for a family, helping someone worry less about tomorrow. I could feel the spirit of solidarity and sharing among everyone; even though we were all strangers, we helped each other very enthusiastically.
This experience made me realize that serving the community is not just about giving; it's also an opportunity to learn gratitude and empathy. I feel that I have matured and want to continue participating in such activities to contribute to helping those around me
