Ever since I was born, I have seen hundreds of people suffering from homelessness and starvation in this city due to meagre income. This led to me developing a soft spot for them, and I have always wanted to help them. Still, I realise that giving them cash could introduce more issues than solutions. That\u2019s why I decided to cook and distribute food among the homeless throughout the city to at least give them a little help in their complicated lives, as it would be impossible for me to alleviate all of their hardships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning Objectives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO1: Identify your own strengths and develop areas for personal growth.<br>Before this experience, cooking was a relatively unknown science to me. Going into this, I severely underestimated the time and effort, not to mention the skill it took to cook Indian vegetables. It took me a lot of patience to wait for the vegetables to cook and even more when donating the food, as the homeless people were wary of me when I first went there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO2: Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken, developing new skills in the process.<br>A new skill I learnt from this is some basic cooking and some roti making, in which I am still nowhere near perfect, but I can make them to my satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>LO6: Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance.<br>Homelessness is a serious issue around the globe, not only in impoverished and developing countries but also in developed countries, including the United States and Czechia. I have always advocated for government programmes to alleviate homelessness and opposed their forced eviction from public areas. This was a significant reason I decided to undertake this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evidence :<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0011-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9226\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0011-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0011-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0009-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0009-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0009-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0008-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9228\" srcset=\"https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0008-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/classof2023.fountainheadschools.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/IMG-20221107-WA0008-1-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I Cooked, Packaged, and Distributed food to homeless people around Surat.
