DOROTHY DAY

   

 




 
Yesterday, we went to visit to the Dorothy Day house and Dorothy Day food pantry. After I went through the food pantry, listened the teacher explain how the food pantry worked, and I even had a chance to pretend to be a homeless girl who go the food pantry to ask for help. Every stuff work in the Dorothy Day house and food pantry is volunteers. They work for nothing, just want to help people. After we volunteer to help stuffs to fill the shelves with foods, when I saw there were happiness and gratitude in their eyes, I thought I was just doing a best thing. And I really felt happy. I learned how to help people without money today, I think, when I come back to my country, I can select my old clothes and made some food to donate to homeless people or poor children in my country. I suppose that once I see they are happy, I would be happy.

At past, we always give money to homeless man or poor people. And we also always donate the money to the government, and the government can collect the money and again donated to the poor people and homeless people. Sometimes, government will start a donation activity, and people can come to donate some money, and then the money will be gave to poor people. However, in my country, there are some hospices which same as Dorothy Day house and help homeless people get food and sleep. And when I back home, I think I will go to learn further study of social welfare, and I would help homeless people as much as I can, because I really felt much happiness when I help the stuffs to doing their work. I can truly felt that when I finished that work, it means I have helped many homeless or poor family. That is a big pleasure to do good things.
