Cookies for a cause 

In light of the crisis the pandemic has created, most of us have to quarantine ourselves. Amidst this chaos are some very brave people, working every day to make sure we can get what we need to survive and our countries don’t go into ruin!

These people, although diligent, hardly get the praise or recognition they deserve for their services and how important they are for us! For our Global Youth Service Day project we decided to acknowledge and appreciate their service by baking cookies for the essential workers at my host mom’s office, so they realize their value to our community.

Hope and happiness are something we all need in times like these, and I thought why not deliver it in the shape of chocolate chip cookies?
