Our Senior Service Learning boys have almost completed their fourth term volunteering in the Exodus Foundation Dessert Van, a Friday night shift that sees\u00a0representatives from each House accompanied by their parents serve\u00a0dessert to up to 120 homeless clients in\u00a0Woolloomooloo.<\/p>\n
The Dessert Van runs in partnership with the Exodus Food Van that operates nightly in the area building on the boys\u2019 experience preparing food for Exodus\u2019 guests in the Loaves and Fishes Kitchen.<\/p>\n
For the boys, working on the Dessert Van has both been an eye-opening and rewarding experience. Year 11 student\u00a0Oliver Smith (11\/MA)<\/strong>\u00a0who has worked in the Loaves and Fishes kitchen said \u201cI really enjoyed it as we got a different perspective of serving the homeless in the community, and we saw how the work we did in the kitchens actually made a difference on the streets of Sydney, improving the lives of many people on a daily basis.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Likewise, the boys got a sense of what it means to make a difference.\u00a0<\/p>\n \u201cI learnt that serving people food and having a chat can really make someone’s day better. It shows the simple things in life are the most important, and a good conversation can really improve someones day\u201d said\u00a0Brennan Sortwell (11\/MA)<\/strong><\/p>\n Fellow Year 11 boy\u00a0Daniel Baykitch (11\/MA)<\/strong>\u00a0agrees saying he was amazed to see how many people were waiting for food, and how quickly they dispersed into the night afterwards.<\/p>\n Thank you to all the boys, parents and staff that have assisted\u00a0with the Dessert Van and the driving to and from its base in Ashfield.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our Senior Service Learning boys have almost completed their fourth term volunteering in the Exodus Foundation Dessert Van, a Friday night shift that sees\u00a0representatives from each House accompanied by their parents serve\u00a0dessert to up to 120 homeless clients in\u00a0Woolloomooloo.
