Mitch and I went to volunteer tonight in Chanhassen at the Feed my Starving Children organization. This is a Christian based organization that collects donations and uses volunteers to pack boxes of food for children in less fortunate areas of the world. The process is pretty simple, you show up pack food and it is shipped off that same week to missionaries who deliver it to children all over the world.
Mitch's work has organized this event for the second time since Mitch has worked for the city and I have done it two other times with my students as well. I have had fun in both settings. My students had a ton of fun when we went and realized they can have just as much fun going and giving back. This is just what I believe in as a teacher and who I want my students to become a giving, caring person. It is such a hands on way to give back, it creates an even warmer feeling in my heart than just writing a check.
Here is a quick video (3 minutes) about what this organization is all about and the website if you want to donate time or money...I highly recommend it! Ohhh and you get to wear sweet hairnets so it really is a win/win situation! The picture is a picture of me and one of my cuties and our hot hairnets when we were packing meals this year.
