1 i y Education Durham C.H.S. Students Volunteer at Food Bank by Sarah Ridley Service projects arc over now, but our memories will stay with us for a long, long time. Even now, we relive our experience as we relate them to friends and classmates. There's no possible way to tell all the stories that can be told, as almost everyone experienced experienced something different. This is especially true with the grade nines and tens. Some were playing music or acting in nursing homes. Others went to Toronto for two days to work at the Scott Mission and Daily Bread Food bank. Still others others worked in daycare, with disabled people, in second-hand clothing stores, in distribution centres and for Meals on Wheels. Heather, Nicole, and Albert went with most of the grade tens to Toronto Toronto for two days. Their duties included packaging food, serving meals, cleaning cleaning warehouses, moving boxes, and doing odd jobs for the missions. Another Another student had the unique opportunity opportunity to help at the Scott Mission Meals on Wheels program. The students students participating helped prepare the trays, then went out with the people who worked for the program on their distribution routes. Acting as "runners", "runners", they brought the food right into the people's homes. Miriam, a grade nine student, worked at Lighthouse in Toronto for the entire week. Her jobs were varied: varied: acting as receptionist, cooking, collecting food, decorating the dining room, and doing odd jobs there. A lot of the work was with newcomers to Canada. "It gave me a keener insight on what immigrants and refugees have to go through when they come to Canada," Miriam said. Nicole was moved by the plight of the homeless that she saw in Toronto. "I saw people living under the bridge, they had a curtain for a door," she said, "I wanted to stop and talk to them, cheer them up, make them laugh." Other students saw people sleeping under whatever shelters they could find. "It made me feel lucky," Albert said. The experience is definitely one they want to repeat. Many students felt they wanted to do more. But everyone everyone felt good that they could make a difference. "It opened my eyes," JHeather said. A cliche? Maybe. True? For sure!
