Food drive+Cooking (SERVICE)

(VIDEO-BASED REFLECTION)

If having an issue with reading the pointers in the video, here is the TRANSCRIPT:

Activity and goal: Helping mom cook(because of covid servants not coming, so helping her cook) Using the leftovers/extra food; to go on a food drive; to contribute to the zero hunger SDG and minimize the wastage of food. Further, consider composting from the leftovers.

Nongas workChopping 
Round chapatisdaal/pulao related dishes; hard to make  for me 

The entire process- going to purchase the right type of daal

Worked on my weaknesses(clips of chopping and daal); once aware of the same

LO2

(chopping challenging, since wanted to avoid cutting my fingers and at the same time didn’t want to waste time by cutting extremely slowly)

(overcame the chopping challenge by practicing slowly, developing a muscle memory and then gradually increasing my speed)

Undertaking this challenge makes me feel great since now I can cook independently; have a new special skill and in the future won’t face cooking related adversities. 

LO3

Organisation:

  • Laying out the food timetable for the entire week as per the demand of the family members
  • When searching for places to execute the food drive 
  • Hard to find places at first; but due to the planning done before executing, I faced no problems while conducting the food drive. 


LO4

  • Helping mom cook everyday, since I am used to being on the receiving end, it was tedious for me to cook dinner everyday with her. I had to show my commitment towards the goal. 

LO5

  • Had to collaborate with my mother, my job was to make her task easier so I just took instructions 
  • Hierarchy was set which made collaboration pretty easy 

LO6

  • The main purpose of the food drive was so to focus on the global issue ‘hunger’
  • It is crucial to put my contribution to this global issue because to meet the SDG ‘zero hunger’; everybodies contribution is needed to make a change. 

 LO7 

  • Talking about sustainable goals, in the food drive, I distributed the food in plastic plates, 
  • Using those plates is unethical especially when the goal in mind is moving towards sustainability 
  • To some extent plastic consumption took place, however, I feel that the hunger issues outweigh this dilemma(since it was not feasible for me to hand the food out in steel plates)

Highlight: the pleasant feeling received after making someone smile(mother and the people who received the food)
