community servings

The interns for the Peabody school went to J.P. to see community servings. Community servings is a organisation that makes meals for sick people. When we where there we helped decorate the bags for the kids. On the side of this blog is the money going to community servings

fertilizer

One day we had to fertilize plants. we used this fertilizer with fish and seaweed. The stuff looked thick and was a dark brown color. The smell was really bad. Well I had to pour on plants. The fertilizer needed a lot of water. Next we poured on it the plants. It got on my shoes and clothes. They smelled for the rest of the day. The plants finally got all of it. I hope I get to work on compost next time. Because really who wants dead fish and seaweed on them? But I still did it and had a O.K. time only because I did work.

Community Servings

Last week we went on a field trip to Community Servings in Jamaica Plain. Community servings is an organization that volunteer, which is good because community servings runs mostly on volunteers. At community servings we learned a little about what they do and decorated bags for the children's meals to be delivered in. The woman who delivers the meals described to us the looks on the children's faces and how excited the always are to see their bag when she comes to deliver the food.
In the end our group of interns, the G&P interns, and the staff combined made over 70 bags. That means over 70 children got a bag that we decorated. I hope that one of my bags brightened up one of the children's day.

Peabody Interns go to The Food Project

On Wednesday, the Peabody School Interns went on a  field trip to The Food Project, in Roxbury. While there they were able to ask the interns at The Food Project questions about they're work, the garden, and The Food Project. They also did a group activity about the steps from the farm to the store. This taught the Interns about where their food was coming from and how far it had traveled. After this, we went outside to work on the farm they had. Although the rain was thick, it could not dampen the Intern's spirits, as they weeded, harvested, and cut plants alongside other Interns from all across Cambridge. This was a great opportunity for the Peabody Interns, and I hope The Food Project flourishes for many more years, so the kids after us can have the same opportunity.
