VOLONTEERING – SOUP KITCHEN
Yesterday, I did
volunteering with a “soup kitchen” in Denver.
It was very
interesting and enriching to meet homeless people and help them.
There were a lot of
people and I was really surprised.
In France we also help
homeless by serving soup or giving food with the association “Les Restos du
Coeur”.
I think it is very
good to help people who need it, and I will try to do this more often. I liked
to be useful, and I loved to see that people were very happy to be helped.
Some homeless talked
with me and were very nice with me. They asked me some questions about me and I
asked them, too. They thanked me and it made me very happy.
I found that the food
offered was very good and healthy. I was surprised with the quality and the
quantity because we served almost one thousand people. I felt safety, but there
was just one guy a little bit scary because he looked drunk or he must have
taken drugs… I was not comfortable with him but all the others people were very
nice and grateful.
I think it was a very
good experience and I want to do that again. We should do that more often
because we just have to give time for them; it’s nothing for us.
