This past week, I actually got to volunteer with an intern at the clinic. She was in the process of making "goodie bags" for an event that they were having over the weekend. The event consisted of giving bike helmets to the children that they treat. I was honestly really suprised by this. Not that I didnt expect San Jose to reach into the community, but bike helmets are a huge thing. I know when I was a kid, I absolutely loved riding my bike, so it was nice to see that they are really promoting healthy living and an active lifestlye in the kids they treat.
Once I was done putting the goodie bags together- which consisted of crayons, a colour page, a fake tatto, information sheets about helmets, and getting shots- I helped cut off little figures that little kids can colour and then the San Jose staff can hang up on their tree. I was happy to help, because I know that even though my family doesn't have a tree, I always loved seeing how beautiful the trees are and I know these kids will love colouring in the snowman/gingerbread man/ star and then getting it put up on the tree.
As well, this past week, Sasha and I have begun discussing our service learning presentation. We agreed that we would do HPV.
