Thoughts from Emma M.

Today before lunch, we walked around the neighborhood collecting donations. We would tell them we are with the Agape Service Project and are gathering non-perishable food items for the food bank we are having on Wednesday. After lunch, we drove to the grocery store and as people were walking into the store, we would briefly explain to the shoppers we are hosting a food bank. We would then hand them a sheet of paper with a list of items we need for the food bank. We asked them if they could buy a few extra items for Agape. Before dinner, us girls were into two groups. The group I was in went outside and had a very fun scavenger hunt. The other group stayed inside, and ended up cooking us dinner without us knowing. While we were outside they prepared our meal and even cleaned up for us. Both groups understood that the group inside was taking the place as migrant workers, becasue they cooked our pasta but they had to eat rice and beans. I think it was a good experience for both groups. In the end, we had all become fully aware of how much the migrant workers need our help and understanding.
