food pantry

this week i only went to the food pantry for half the time i normally do. this week we had twice as many volunteers as we normally do. this may be due to the fact that during this time of year, more people fee the need to contribute since Christmas is coming close. there are also more people in need coming in. i feel that this is due to the fact that these people as spending more money on heating, so they are running short on money for food. this is why i chose to volunteer, to help these people in their time of need.

greek club 12/10/2009

this week in Greek club, we had an overall review. we went over declensions and vocabulary. i found this tough for me to do. i had not looked at the declensions in over two weeks ago since i did not participate in the class a week ago. however, i found out that i remembered them once i took one view. this shows me that even though they are not fresh in my mind, i still have a memory for Greek and expanding my ability to remember the language and use it.

plymouth coalition for the homeless 12/2

this week at the food pantry, there was an unusually large amount of people there to pick up food. this may attributed to the economic troubles that the country is in right now. most of these people are unemployed, or work for very little. it doesnt seem right to me that they go with out food for the winter, especially in these time where finding a job is difficult. i even get to talk to some of these people who come in. there is one man who cannot earn enough money because of the restriction of Social Security and his Health problems. its just not right that he should go hungry because the government says he cannot work more that a certain amount of time and the money he does make goes to maintaining his medication for his body.
