Now onto the second semester of the program!
I started out this year
volunteering at Second Harvest Food Bank. We were in a warehouse on one of the
colder nights of the month packaging up food. I was on box duty with Antonia
and Evy. I worked together with Antonia to build the boxes while she serenaded
me with music! It was really fun and we packaged so many boxes of food. It also
went by extremely fast. We were a true assembly line and I hope that I can go
back there and help out more. The people were very nice and a great
atmosphere.
It is also the end of the month now, and the start of mardi gras season. I am
super excited that I get to be here for mardi gras. I know that it is a big celebration here, and I don’t think I
have ever expected I would be able to celebrate it in New Orleans. I can’t wait
to see all the parades!
