Giving Back

Community service work is something of great importance to me. Having grown up in a community where there were programs to help students and marginalized groups, I wanted to give back to my community as well. During high school, I volunteered yearly in two events, one was a community health fair during the summer and the other was a Thanksgiving event usually the Sunday before Thanksgiving. The Thanksgiving event was my favorite since it was a day where students all over New York City came together to help different community centers and partnerships. I always left the event full of joy. This is why, I decided to sign up for the MobilePack with Feed My Starving Children. This volunteer service lived up to my expectations. It turned out to be a beautiful bonding experience with other members of the community and Cornell where we were all working on the same cause. A cause I consider important since lack of food resources is a main reason why it is hard for countries to become self sustainable. Therefore, I consider the MobilePack a good initiative to start working on this issue.
