According to the site "http://www.cityharvest.org / programs / healthy - neighborhoods" Nearly two million New Yorkers are facing hunger. And for an even largest number there is another problem, healthy food is unavailable and unaffordable. So, worried about that situation, St John's University, via the Manhattan Campus sent a group of Brazilians Volunteers, most exactly 15 students, and a monitor in the last saturday, february, 1, 2014, to a public square in the Queens District, where, the NGO City Harvest was waiting us to help in the distributing healthy food for poor people of that neighborhood.
The work of volunteers, in which I was among them, consisted in mount bags of 5, 8 or 15 pounds and give them to people who needed.
After three hours, we finished this humanitarian and academic activity, with the feeling of always we can do a little bit more. And that, if we help, if we plant solidarity we can spoon a better world.
Finally, we have to recognize the initiative of the all the donators of NYC and the NGO City Harvest which spent a lot time motivating people to collect and distribute hope and health to poor people and by their good example to the rest of the world.
Congratulations!
Francisco Lázaro Gomes de Sousa
