Complete the project:
Our final project is about the Ronald McDonalds house, located in Miami. Florida, next to the Jackson memorial hospital. We went there 2 different days to prepare food for the families in need.
The first day my team and I, and also my mom that was visiting came with us to help, what an amazing experience seeing my mom with us. We cooked pasta with meatballs, we served tea and sodas, we stayed about 5 hours, cooking cleaning and sharing a little bit with the people that eat there, not a lot because we were in a kitchen and most of the families when we served the food used to bring it to the rooms because the majority have kids sick that cant go out from the room. The kitchen was very clean, everything was working, nice place. Maybe it will be good to improve sharing at the time they eat.
The second day I bought the food with one of my team members, while going to the place one team member was running late and the other one got pulled over, so I decided to bring all the food down and start by myself. This time we decided to make pizza, we chose to do 10 pizzas all of them with different flavors, we put vegetables, corn, mushrooms, jam, etc. we also served cookies, tea, water and soda. While we were making the pizzas a young guy with his mom approached to the kitchen and we let him make a pizza that was one of the best moments I experienced, because I felt integrity and happiness on him. The staff of the Ronald Mcdonald house was incredible great, we took a lot of pictures, we bought everything, food, plates, beverages, etc. the second day we stayed around 5 hours. I loved the experience so much that I gave my number to the lady in charge of the events to call me anytime they need help for other activities. She liked that I went to talk to her about it and she put me in the list of volunteers for next events. The place is beautiful, peaceful, and clean, maybe what they should improve is that to get there is a little bit confusing, they need to put more signals on the route to get there. For the families that live there maybe if they put nice and soft songs in the background at the time they are eating in the tables will be nice, put a sink next to the tables they eat to make sure they clean their hands.
