The second week at RMHC Central Ohio was an incredibly rewarding experience. I had the opportunity to build stronger connections with the dedicated staff members, benefiting greatly from their diverse perspectives and expertise. Throughout the week, my main focus was on completing the scavenger hunt project, which is now nearing completion. Additionally, I had the pleasure of meeting two other high school interns who impressed me with their remarkable abilities. Sharing an office space with them allowed for meaningful conversations during our downtime.

One standout moment from this week was the amazing task of filming content for the culinary camp. This unique program not only teaches children cooking skills but also provides them with an understanding of how the Ronald McDonald House operates and the impact of cooking for families. It was truly gratifying to witness the joy on the children’s faces as they explored the world of culinary arts, and to see how the stories of the families staying at the house resonated with them.

One of the most fulfilling aspects of my time at RMHC is witnessing the profound impact this charity has on the lives of others. Working in the house, which constantly welcomes families and children, I have had the privilege of assisting families in the computer room by helping them print important medical forms. The gratitude expressed by these families serves as a poignant reminder of the vital role that RMHC plays in supporting them during difficult times.

A particular highlight of the week was the opportunity to contribute to the Columbus Crew’s 614 day event. This event, aimed at promoting soccer and community engagement among young children, allowed us to set up an informative booth about the Ronald McDonald House. It was a delight to interact with the enthusiastic children, watching them enjoy soccer matches with their friends! Meeting some of the Crew players added an extra layer of excitement to the experience, making it a truly unforgettable moment!

I am so grateful for these experiences, and I am loving every second of this internship. Thanks for following along!
