Four weeks into Internship

My Internship site is Bed-Stuy Compaign Against Hunger (BSCAH) and I work there as a food distributor. BSCAH provides food for homeless people and people who need help because they are unemployed.

Three tasks that I do regularly are:

.Interface with clients - Sometimes when a client comes for the first time they don't understand how the program works so I explain to them how the program works.
.Food distribution - Give them food
.Sort the food- the food is organized in different categories and I sort the food for each client. Each client gets a packet of rice, bread, juice, beans, meat,vegetable, cereals, and milk sometimes they give them extra things.The amount that I can give them depends on the card they have.

My mentor's name is Tamara. She is nice but strict. She seems to be a strong leader and good at managing people.

My Internship is located at Fulton street in Bedford Stuyvesant,Brooklyn. I leave the school at 11:45 each day and arrive at 1:00. It takes one hour and 15 minutes to get there.I work four days a week, Monday to Thursday. On Mondays and Wednesdays they close at three. On Tuesdays and Thursdays they close at six. I do not stay until six all the time because sometimes I have to go to Imentor events or somewhere else. The supervisor who signed my time cards before was Tamara or Sam but now they say that I can sign it by myself because they trust me.
