When the "rich kids" gather firewood to cook rice

For the “rich kids” who join the volunteer team to travel all over the country, working and living in all conditions from the mountains to the countryside is already a great effort. Yet having to cook for over 20 people per meal is truly beyond imagination. However, when participating in the green summer journey, those “rich kids” learned together how to gather firewood, cook rice, experience, learn and write memorable pages of their student days.
To ensure fairness, the division of the logistics team was done at the internal meeting the night before. Everyone would draw lots to choose 5 people to participate in logistics work. There were moments of extreme suspense waiting for the results of the lot, then there were people who laughed and cried at having to stay home for almost the entire campaign. And then near the end of the campaign, 20 people took turns, and everyone did logistics work at least once.
Without a gas stove, the logistics team had to learn how to light a wood stove to cook.
The daily schedule with the logistics team will start 30 minutes earlier than the others to prepare breakfast for the whole team, then clean up the "battlefield" after everyone goes to work. After that, the logistics team divides up, some clean the house, some wash the "mountain" of clothes of 20 people and some go to the market. If anyone says that we volunteers are lazy with housework, only care about other people's affairs in society, they will have to think differently if they witness the working days of the logistics team, everything must be very neat from meals to sleep, from clothes to house, this can become a housework training course for those who are still "lazy" when coming home.
The market is nearly 1km from where we are stationed, especially in the market only pork and less than 5 types of vegetables are popular, so the menu must always be calculated from the day before. Going to the market is probably the biggest headache, to ensure no waste, true to the nature of volunteering, the cost for 2 meals a day for us is 320,000 VND, the person going to the market always has to rack their brains and calculate to spend reasonably while the meal always ensures nutrition as well as changing the dishes regularly to help the whole team enjoy.
