The past two days of service have
been fantastic. On Sunday, the service act was less structured, but just as
important! We hung out around Times Square and preformed random acts of
kindness. As a group, we bought Mcdonald’s for the person in front of us in the
line, and as my service act, I bought a lottery ticket from a vending stand and
gave it to a person. I hope they won! Overall, I was quite surprised to see how
shocked people were to receive these random acts of kindness. It goes to show
that as a culture we don’t do it enough, which is quite a shame.
As for today’s service activity, we
made peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and lunch packs for the homeless and
distributed them at various stations. We first went to Port Authority, Grand
Central, and finally Penn station. It was really rewarding to make the lunch at
the hostel and get to see their reactions first hand.
