Service Learning with Suffolk University Madrid Campus
Description (Dublin Core)
[Giana worked as a volunteer in Haven for Hunger food pantry]“By exposing myself to people who were affected the most by the spread of COVID-19 I was able to recognize my privilege in a pandemic that affects everyone. This has made me immensely more aware of the resources I have access to day-to-day. Similarly to what is said by Dylan Santos on page 169 of Harkins, “it is one thing to theoretically learn about the struggles that others face; it’s another to hear from the people who are struggling and see what that looks like for each individual person”. With both of my service-learning experiences, I was able to interact with the people who are discarded, and especially in regard to COVID-19, so many of these people are viewed as a number or a statistic. Through this experience, I was able to humanize and finally see who was being affected the most. I have already signed up for future volunteer opportunities and I fully intend to continue expanding what I already know.”
