May 19, 2016 - An experience in our Spirit of
Adventure e-term course was to help those who are less fortunate by spending
our time working in the Giving Garden.
Our group helped out by pulling weeds, planting potatoes, watering
greenhouse plants, and maintaining the health and growth of the tomato
plants. The group was at the Giving
Garden providing our services for approximately an hour and a half. We learned
that what we were planting and maintaining was distributed to those who are
less fortunate and need healthy nutrients instead of spending the little money
available on processed foods.
It is important to understand that
no matter what situation you find yourself in, it is essential to look at the
others in our community and find out how we can help those in need. Today was a good example of not neglecting or
losing sight of how there are others in our community struggling and they could
use some help. Our work on the garden today
allowed me to have a sense of giving back to the community I have spent 4 years
living in. The importance of healthy
food options for all families and people is what will keep the community
healthy and thriving. The group I worked
with today was very happy to give back to the community and do our part to help
those who are less fortunate. We practiced Ferrum’ s motto today, Not Self But Others, and it felt great.
