About Minnesota 7

This time, I will write about volunteerism. We went SMFC.　I have done a volunteer when I was a junior high and high school student. So, I will talk about volunteerism. Many Americans Volunteer to make a difference in their community. Many Americans feel pride and satisfaction because of what they can accomplish when they volunteer. Volunteers share their time and talent to solve problems, strengthen communities, improve lives lives and to connect with others. Some research even shows that volunteering may have health benefits as well as social benefits. Older volunteers are the most likely to have health benefits because volunteering provides them with physical and social activity and a sense of purpose at a time when their social roles are changing. A new study shows that adults who never volunteered spend an average of 436 more hours per year watching TV than adults who volunteer. Minnesota is ranked 3rd in the nation for the largest percentage of the population who volunteers: 39.7%. The US government relies on volunteers to provide social services that the government can't provide. Many corporations and foundations financially support programs staffed by volunteers that make a difference in the community, nation and world. Many companies give employees time off to volunteer in the community. Young people are encouraged to volunteer as a way to gain skills that will later be used in the workforce. Volunteer experience is seen as an asset on resumes for collage entrance and for jobs. Many schools require service learning projects, where students must volunteer and use skills learned in school in a meaningful way. Young children may go to Trick or Treating for Unicef and older children might visit with elderly people, listen to their personal stories and then compare what is heard to what has been learned in history  class. Here you can see the areas where you are most likely to see volunteers. In Japan, there are few activities about volunteers.

Individuals, churches, foundations and corporations give money. The meals are donated and the cost about 17 cents a meal to produce since much of the food preparation is done by volunteers. Many things are considered when determining who receives the food. It targets feeding programs to the children who are in the most serve circumstances, suffering from severe malnutrition and threatened with death from starvation. The food is given regardless of the faith. Food has been sent to over 60 countries including Haiti, Sudan, Jamaica, Bolivia, Dominican Republic, Tanzania, Liberia, Ghana, Guatemala, Malawi, Cambodia, India and Indonesia. I learned the food was designed by food scientists at Cargill and General Mills to meet the needs of 4-8 year old malnourished child. Each meal has 20 different vitamins and minerals that a child needs each day. The ingredients are soy, rice, vegetables, vitamins and minerals and vegetarian chicken flavoring mix. The food is made with boiling water and is culturally acceptable. Feed my Starving Children is committed to encouraging people of all faiths to participate in their mission. They work with other humanitarian organizations to transport and distribute the food. They support long term feeding programs. We enjoyed this program, and packing food. I would like to do this.
