Today, I was able to volunteer with Deloitte at P.S. 212 in Queens, NY. Queens is a borough of New York City, and it is not the wealthiest part of the city. It was great to be there with the kids and have the opportunity to play teacher for a day.
I was assigned to a team of 6 other interns, and 2 leaders. The leaders were in their 5th and 3rd year at Deloitte. We spent our morning teaching first graders about families, communities, and the importance of education and jobs. I really had a great time, and enjoyed the antics of the kids in the class.
Afterwards, we were able to take a charter bus back into Manhattan, where all of the Deloitte interns and professionals, along with several Goldman Sachs professionals celebrated a day of volunteering. I didn't stay long though, because I woke up at 5:15 this morning, and was very tired.
Sunday, my parents will be leaving. Hopefully we will be able to do some exciting things before they head home.
