My children and I volunteered to help set up the facility for this year’s Thanksgiving dinner. The day before Thanksgiving we drove to downtown Atlanta to the Georgia World Congress and Convention Center. We were amazed by the number of volunteers already there. There were people from all walks of life, executives, athletes, clergy, housewives and fathers, and even some people who were clearly in need themselves.…
Most organizations have documented core values, and objectives that ultimately contribute to their mission or cause. These documented or stated values are intended to shape the culture of the organization, and should also serve as a framework for the development of corporate strategy and the development of short and long-term goals. The climate of the organization can result in an unspoken culture which can be in alignment or contrary to the stated intent. The external environmental factors such as market competitors, the state of the economy, new technology and political environment also impact an organizations culture. Organizational culture impacts all facets of an organization and ultimately can impact the ability to accomplish their mission. This paper will examine Feed the Children's current culture, impacts of the identified culture, and the rites and rituals contributing to the overall state of Feed the Children.…

Again, communication is key. If we do not here from a member by Wednesday 6pm on their contributions each week, we divvy up the sections that need a volunteer. A time line and due dates should be set for each task. If someone has misses a deadline then a message is posted and we finalize the missing assignment. Also, a message is posted to professor Rita Solomon-Moore, as she should be our corporate boss and he needs to know when a member is slacking so credit is assigned appropriately.…

With this group, I had the opportunity to go to the local Willa Gill Center and package CARE packages for the community. The CARE packages contained basic needs such as toothpaste and shampoo, and special items like nail polish and makeup. After we packaged everything, we were able to sort out clothing and cans that were going to be distributed the next day. Working behind the scenes and helping the workers prepare was very rewarding.…
At the start of the social action, as a group we sat down and 3 people of the 5 (at the time) contributed to the discussion of ideas. I created a checklist for the group and jobs were allocated to each member. 4 out of the 6 dot points in the checklist were actually completed. I specifically had the job of asking the library for permission to hold the donation bin, after this failed I then asked student services at Seaford Secondary College with one other student. I allocated jobs for the group report, a paragraph for each person. I…

These packets also do not have to be refrigerated or require water to take. It only took three food technologists from India and Pakistan to produce such a packet. These packets have already changed the life of many children who received them.…

It was Saturday morning and everyone was so excited about the outreach activity. As we gathered, everybody went to their selected jeepneys as we go to our destination. I was very excited as I stepped down the jeep with all the things that we needed for the activity. We need to cross at the bridge for us to go to loob, Gainza . I was very afraid as I stepped on the bridge. It feels like I’m going to fall into the water, but I still try to overcome my fear. As we go by, there are tricycle that’s waiting for us. I saw children who are taking a bath, maybe because there are too excited about the activities at the same time for the feeding program. Finally, we already arrived at our destination. I’m so overwhelmed because the people there are so generous. They help us carry out those things that we bought for the activities. We went to our place to prepare the food for the children. I saw several children sitting on the branches. I feel pity on them because they are too thin; in short some of them are malnourished. Our tribe prepared the ingredients for macaroni soup. Some of us chopped all the ingredients that need to be cut and some of us prepared the material to be used in cooking. It’s kind an awkward because don’t know where to start and how to approach them, but I still try my best. As I look for the other tribes to take some pictures, there are a lot of children almost a hundred pluses and above and I was shocked. I take pictures of them, I feel so happy every time I saw children who are smiling. There are very kind because they keep on participating and listening to their kuya’s and ate’s. I really love kids, so I also help the tutorial committee. I teach them on how to read and write, and there I realized that some of them don’t really know how to write and read. It’s not that easy to manipulate or control those kids for some of them are 5 years old below. Some are naughty and some of them are like they are just out of this world. I also saw those parents whose…
