Week 3 and 4 – Immigrant Center

My first two weeks of the senior project have been slow. I have been helping the general manager in the immigrant center with Excel sheets. My main job every day was to put attendants on the computer. Five different ethnicities come for different activities, food, and language lessons. Some of them need a ride to the center and back, so my job is to put all the people who attended the classes and who needed a ride onto the spreadsheet. Some of the time I was helping to serve food and prepared cutlery for the next day and clean afterwards.
There are not many things that I have learned :/ but still, I have learned somethings. First, if my future “serious” job would consist mostly of spreadsheets – I would hate that job. Another thing that I learned is some knowledge of how electronics work a three-hour job can take only 30 min!!!
I think that would be a great place to volunteer! Because in the places where our school is volunteering, most of the people get a salary for the same work that we are helping with – so they have people to do it! At the immigration center, they are lacking people to work. Even though they have some staff, in my opinion, it would be more impactful and useful to volunteer at such a place instead of a park or something similar to it!
