Molo!

Igama lam nguStevie Barner, kwaye ndigqibezela iinkosi zam kwisondlo kunye ne-dietetic internship ngeDyunivesithi yaseTexas. Isebe Lezonyango. IBhanki yoKutya yaseGalveston yayilujikelezo lwam lokugqibela njengomfundi ofundela umsebenzi wokutya! Ibe luhambo olunzima, kodwa ndinombulelo omkhulu ngokuba ukujikeleza kwam kokugqibela bekukwi-GCFB ukuze ndigqibezele la mava kwinkumbulo enkulu. Bendilapha kujikelezo lweeveki ezi-4 apho ndiye ndachazelwa ngamathuba amaninzi awohlukeneyo okufikelela eluntwini njengenxalenye yesebe lezondlo.

Kwiveki yam yokuqala, Ndathatha inxaxheba kwiklasi yokufundisa ngesondlo sosapho kubazali kwiSikolo samaBanga aPhakamileyo saseTexas City. Ndisebenze ngokusondeleyo noStephanie Bell, utitshala wezondlo kwi-GCFB, ukufunda indlela yokuhlanganisa idemo yokutya kwezi klasi. Ndandiyithanda indlela ezonwabisa kwaye zonwaba ngayo ezi klasi. Kuyo yonke iklasi, bekukho imisebenzi eyahlukeneyo kunye namava ovavanyo lokungcamla ukugcina abathathi-nxaxheba bebandakanyeka kwaye becinga.

Ekupheleni kweveki yam yokuqala, ndathatha inxaxheba kumsitho weHalloween obekwa yiGCFB ngonyaka. Ndisebenze kunye nesebe lezondlo kwindawo yabo yokubonelela ngengxowa ye-popcorn yokwakha. Sikwanike ulwazi malunga neeklasi zokufundisa ngesondlo kunye namakhadi eresiphi. Ndide ndadlula kwindawo yokugcina impahla ye-GCFB eyoyikisayo!

Ngeveki yam yesibini, ndiye ndafumana amava ukuba iProjekthi ye-Health Corner Store ibandakanya ntoni. Ndiyayithanda le projekthi, kwaye kwixesha elizayo, I ndingafuna ukuphumeza inkqubo efana nale kwindawo yam. Iivenkile ezimbini zeekona endizindwendweleyo zazimangalisa! Ngenene yayivakala ngathi yivenkile encinci yokutya. Kwakukho imveliso entsha, iinketho ezininzi zenyama ukusuka kwinkukhu ukuya kwinyama yenkomo, amaqanda, iimveliso zobisi, kunye nokukhethwa okukhulu kwempahla eyomileyo kunye nenkonkxiweyo. Ngelixa sasityelele, songeze imiqondiso ephathelele kwimfundo yesondlo saza sacwangcisa into esiza kuyibuyisela kwixesha elizayo. Ngalo lonke ixesha uStephanie ekhangela izinto ezintsha aza kuziphumeza ngelixa ezibandakanya nabanini kunye nabathengi babo. Ndikonwabele ukugxila ekwakheni ubudlelwane kwaye ndibe yinxalenye enkulu yoluntu olundingqongileyo. Lo mfanekiso we-cilantro ngowona ndiwuthandayo endawuthatha kwivenkile yekona.

Kwiveki yam yesithathu, ndibe nethuba lokufota ividiyo yeresiphi yeresiphi ye-cookie yetshokholethi yecherry I yanceda ukudala. Andizange ndibe namava angaphambili okwenza iividiyo, ngoko ke yayingamava okufunda amnandi. Ndikonwabele ukuhlela ividiyo, kwaye ngala mava, ndiye ndafumana ulwazi oluninzi malunga nokuba ndingazenzela njani iividiyo zam zokupheka kwixesha elizayo.

Kwiveki yam yesine neyokugqibela, ndiye ndadala izithuba zokufundisa kwimidiya yoluntu. Oku kunokunxulunyaniswa nemfundo yezondlo okanye impilo ngokubanzi. Umbono kukubonelela ngemfundo ethe ngqo ukwenza abantu bacinge ngempilo yabo. Inokubakhuthaza ukuba benze ukhetho lokutya okunempilo okanye bazame into entsha. Uninzi lwezithuba zigxile ekutyeni kwemini ukubonelela ngeenyani ezonwabileyo kunye nolwazi lwezempilo malunga noko kutya. Umzekelo, isithuba esinye endasenzayo yayiyeyosuku lwesiraphu yemaple. Le ibiyiprojekthi enkulu yokuzivumela ukuba ndiyile.

Ixesha lam eGalveston County Food Bank lalingenakulibaleka. UCandice Alfaro, umlawuli wesondlo, kunye no-Stephanie Bell, umfundisi wezondlo, benza indawo yokwamkela kunye nobuhlobo. Ujikelezo lwam luqale kanye njengoko uMaddi, umfundisi-ntsapho omtsha wezondlo, waqala ukusebenza kweli sebe. Kwakumnandi kakhulu ukukhula kunye. Akukho nto ndiyinqwenelela okuhle kodwa kweli sebe naye wonke umntu owenza umsebenzi ongaka wokusebenzela uluntu apha.
