Topic > Analysis of my first day at the YOTO organization

During my shift I was able to organize each donation in the right place and my work did not go unnoticed (managers share their appreciation). I also had the chance to meet some high school students who are asking for help. I find it surprising that children like them have to support themselves; sometimes they have to stop being children and become adults to survive. I felt overwhelmed to learn that homeless youth are at greater risk of not completing their education. One of the days I was volunteering, a group of six pupils came to the organization to receive assistance for the first time. When Miss Daphne told one of the girls that she could get a pillow for herself, she smiled brightly and said that she was finally going to use a pillow to sleep on, because she had been using a little teddy bear as a pillow. The YOTO organization also provides students with some clothing items; right now they are giving away sweaters and jackets to students who really need them. I was also able to learn that there are stores that donate food to YOTO, when the organization is running out of a type of food, a YOTO representative calls the store to ask for the product they want
