As a member of the honors college, it is essential to complete community service to help those in the community. One of the ways I volunteered this semester was by helping raise money for Stockton’s Global Health Team. In order to do this, I went with other members of the club to the Shoprite in English Creek to help the cashiers and bag groceries for customers. Many people were generous enough to donate to the cause. The money raised goes toward the Global Health Team’s annul trip to a country in need of medical assistance. There they bring supplies and assist the doctors and other organization to provide care for the citizens. Last year, they traveled to Nicaragua to help care for the people there. The location for this year’s trip has not yet been determined, but it essential to start the process of raising awareness and funds for the trip as soon as possible.

My time volunteering was spent bagging groceries to raise money for the club. This allowed me not only the chance to help out the club and raise money, but also to be able to interact with others in the community outside of the campus. I look forward to having the opportunity for volunteer for more events sponsored by this club, as I think it is a really important cause.
