On May 24, three members of AYLUS and two parents participated in a Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) packing session. This was pretty straightforward as the non profit organization, FMSC already had everything set up and all we had to do was basically show up. We started off in a big group with tons of other volunteers each part of their own organization. Then a staff member went over some requirements and rules before we got split into group and sent to the packing stations. We washed our hands and the rest was pretty simple. We got to our station and started packing food. At the end we cleaned up before meeting up one last time all together with everyone to go over how many box/ bag we had packed etc. Overall this was a really calming and nice experience as the small details had already been planned and the rest was just repetition.
Together with total 94 volunteers, we packed 17712 meals that can feed 48 kids for a year. Averagely, five of us packed approximately 942 meals that can feed 2.6 kids for a year. We are very proud of what we achieved.
Volunteers:
Karen Li (Event leader) 3 hours
Ellen Li 2.5 hours
Brian Han 2.5 hours
Li Wan (Supervising parent) 2.5 hours
Yan Huang (Supervising parent) 2.5 hours
