As part of the Phase I class, students were given the chance to volunteer and help people in the community. The class was broken up into smaller groups and each group went to a different place - some to the soup kitchen where they prepared and served meals to homeless people, some to the food bank to help package and distribute food to families who do not have enough money, some to Head Start to help children and some to the Green Festival in Seattle where they helped sort recycling and participated in the festival. The students had a great time and learned a few key eye-opening lessons - that not everyone in America is rich, that there are many services to help people who do not have money, that people in American are treated equally and the value of hardwork and helping people.
