DAY 5 - SNOWY DAY AT THE CAFE!

We started the day by packing and cleaning up the house at which we lived for this time. We shared one final morning meal, having arepas and boiled eggs. This meal would go on to sustain us for our activities, as we set out for the SAME Café. All in good cheer for the last day of our immersion, with snowflakes falling, we entered the SAME Café.

We were given our mission: to organize the foods by date, to make sure the chefs had proper cooking materials. Using the FIFO principle, First In, First Out, we made sure that the foods closest to expiring were up front, where they would be easier for the chefs to get. After finishing our work, we then proceeded to eat of the same food which we had prepared. 

For the value of Walking with the Marginalized, we learned that not only could one pay with their money, but also, with their time. 30 minutes of service would get someone a full meal at the SAME Café. For the value of Care for Our Common Home we learned that it was wrong to waste food if it isn’t really expired. At the SAME Café, we made sure the food we preserved was in good shape. Subsequently, we traveled back to the house of origins, and we reflected not only about what we had done today, but also over our immersion as a whole. Overall, today was a Good Friday.
