Week 8

After skipping 2 weeks in a row, I was finally able to volunteer at the clinic. Our group had dwindled down to only other person, and Sam really had nothing planned for us to do. Finally, she came up with 2 tasks for us to accomplish. First, we had a pile of brochures that had accidentally printed on only one side, and we had to figure out how to print on the other side by trying out different trays of the printer and positioning the paper in various ways. Next, we had to cut out remembrance cards of the clinic using decorative scissors. Since they only had one pair of scissors, I did the majority of the cutting while my partner took care of the brochures. Once we finished printing, we learned how to print on both sides simultaneously for future reference. We even took it a step further and began folding the brochures into trifolds. We worked incessantly, but we were unable to complete our assignments. However, it was still an enjoyable experience because the work was simple, and I had a good conversation with my volunteer buddy.

In other news, my group completed our brochure about upper respiratory infections, which we will be presenting on Monday.
