Hello Everyone! As the summer is winding down, it’s almost time to say goodbye to Orlando and Second Harvest. I’ll be honest when I say I still am intended to volunteer 7 more days in order to hit 50 hours volunteering with the bank, right now I’m at 30 and kind of want to increaseContinue reading “Farewell to Second Harvest”

I feel conflicted about whether or not I feel as if I have joined a new community. To some degree, I feel that I am profoundly educated on Argentinian culture and problems, facts that grant me admission to the community. Furthermore, being more educated than anyone else I know in my day-to-day American life, causesContinue reading “A New Community?”

I think that perfect solidarity is almost impossible to find in any community, with any issue. Nonetheless, in reflection on my three projects, I will rank the solidarity of the issues I work with from greatest to least.  I find the most solidarity has to do with the protection of children’s identity, security, and privacyContinue reading “Solidarity in Argentinian Issues”

My current work routine is a little irregular due to my three projects that require me to be at three different locations.  Every morning, I usually work on my technology and identity project. Sometimes I go into the Projects Abroad office, a 15-minute walk from my house, but otherwise, I usually stay at home andContinue reading “Routine?”

There are undoubtedly structural inequalities exacerbated by social conditions in Argentina. In my observation, there are two primary imbalances having to with the economic and political climate.  The economic climate in Argentina has had a long history of instability that has continued into the current presidency. The inflation rate has increased exponentially, suppressing the alreadyContinue reading “my community in reflection…”

Hi! With being back in my home city of Orlando as compared to Tallahassee, the places I most often frequent have changed. The places I most often go are my job at Winn Dixie, volunteering with Second Harvest, and then the gym (sometimes). Before this summer experience I usually just frequented the FSU campus, goingContinue reading “Where I Go”

Through my time in volunteering for Second Harvest, my concept of community has shifted as I see how people are able to come together from all over to help in a single cause. Everyone can help out in their own way towards a common goal. Hundreds of people choose to spend hours sorting, packaging andContinue reading “Community Amongst Fellow Volunteers”

Through my time in working with Second Harvest, i’ve seen the ways the bank shows their solidarity with all those they work to aid. Theres never a distinction made to the identity of those who work for the bank and those they feed in Central Florida. In the photo I have attached is a chalkboardContinue reading “Solidarity for Those We Serve”

Hello Again My everyday routine here is quite nice. Since I’m at home for the summer working for the global cause of hunger, i’m able to wake up to leave before 12:30 for my dry goods sorting shift at Second Harvest, which starts at 1:00. If I’m meeting with a coordinator or director, those areContinue reading “A Day in the Life”

Hello again! I’ve recently had the pleasure of meeting with the Director of Philanthropy at Second Harvest Food Bank of Central Florida, Dan Samuels. Through this meeting, I learned about how the bank receives and maintains funding, where the food goes, and all those that the bank is able to feed. Through our conversation, IContinue reading “COVID-19’s Impact on Central Floridians Facing Hunger”
