Greetings,
In the month of March, I had the pleasure of continuing to
volunteer with Edible School Yard. I
spent some time in cooking classes this month assisting the students with
different tasks. Some of these tasks
included knife safety, measuring cup assistance, and serving their final food
creations. I also spent some time
assisting with the clean up, which can be a daunting job after multiple classes
have been in the kitchen. However, it is
a wonderful experience and I have really enjoyed watching the excitement of the
students as they learn about new cuisines and healthy options.
This month, I also volunteered at Edible School Yard’s
annual fundraiser, Edible Evening. The
fundraiser took place at Langston Hughes Academy, and was spread out throughout
the gym, cafeteria, and gardens. The
school was completely transformed and it was a very beautifully decorated event. Restaurants throughout New Orleans
volunteered their services and dishes. After attending an orientation, I was assigned
to assist the restaurants. I made sure
that the restaurants had everything they needed to properly serve their
dishes. I assisted them with gathering
supplies and utensils, as well as setting up.
The event was a great success and many funds were raised.
