CAS element: Service
Time: 3 hours
This service to the society consisted of helping a French association 'Banque Alimentaire' that fights against hunger in France. I had to help collect food that will later be given to people in needs. I was in a supermarket and was instructed to give at the entrance a pl
astic bag and a brochure of the association to the entering costumers. If they were willing they could buy and donate food that we at the exit. Everyonce in a while someone would pass to collect the boxes full food donated. At the beginning I was not very confortable, as it was my first time doing this kind of service, but then I gained confidence and managed to persuade even reticent people to accepted to donate. It was a bit long standing there for three hours. My back was kind of hurting, but fortunatly I was with a friend from school, which made it easier. The shift I was in, was not the busiest of the day in term of costumers, but we succeeded in filling quite a number of boxes. Nevertheless this experience was very interesting and I really feel proud of myself as I feel I made a difference for some people.
