Hi Rohan, Salim, Karim, and David!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful presentation. Martha's Table really is a staple part of the non-profit and service world in DC and I am glad you clearly had such an impactful experience with them. I loved how you were able to take this experience and apply it into your own areas of experience like your University Writing courses and interest in user-friendly design. Great job!
Thank you for your note Mr. Lewis!
This was a great look at Martha's Table and your service there-thank you for serving and for this presentation. Will you be serving there again next year because of your experience there this time?
Yes! We will definitely be serving there as it works with our heavy athletics schedule and is very volunteer friendly.
Thanks for sharing this great presentation! I love to hear that this course helped you see how community service can fit into your life at GW and in DC. Serving at Martha's Table, one of the most quintessential DC nonprofits, was a great place to start. Hope you'll continue serving there or even at other great DC nonprofits that focus on similar issues of food insecurity, education, etc. Great job!
Very nice presentation on Martha's Table. It would work as a good intro for students interested in serving there!
