Individual Service Learning

For individual service learning i have done tons of different various activities . I have helped out at my old school with an event called "literacy night". It involved me giving out brochures and having people write their names down. I've also been a staff member for "camp getalong" on some saturdays. The group usually consists of 11-15 number of kids through the ages of 4-10. I've done the walk for hunger, which was 6 miles and i've done the 5k clean air run. I also plan to finish up my few hours with the broad street run occurring on sunday may 4th.

reflection on yesterdays meeting (4/17/08)

Yesterday's meeting was a doubtful one. Everyone but the kids seem to believe we can't pull it off due to time. I agree with both parties, but i think we should at least give it a try. The fundraising with the selling of hotdogs seems like a good idea and profitable in the end. My part in all this right now is to get donations from my neighborhood, which should go over well because my neighbors are overall friendly. The conclusion of the meeting was were still doing the fair, just we need some back up plans to.

Reflecting on friday's service learning meeting

Overall i think the meeting went very smoothly. We all know what really needs to be done in the three short weeks that we have. Most of the people in the group i have a feeling will be very committed, however I have the same feeling that some people won't be there at the end. I think if we really pull this off, we will actually make a difference.

This site is a positive site of cancer. One sentence says 70% of all child's cancer is cured usually, this is a good percentage. If we post this fact around the fair it might give hope.
