Service learning Reflection two
Today was the first service learning meeting of my sophmore year. Every year we have to complete a school wide service learning project. This year I'm working with Ms. Klose on a project benefitting Hurricane Katrina victims. Today we watched a video about our project and the man who started it (Mel Chin). We got an overview on how the project will be carried out and the role we will have to play. After the overview video we looked at pictures taken by Ms. Klose when she took a trip to Louisiana. She showed us pictures Louisiana. Some of the pictures were beautiful and a great sight to see. Other pictures made you want to cry. She showed us pictures of the ninth ward; which is still in shambles even years after the hurricane hit. We discussed the signs on houses and the meaning of those signs. Then she showed us pictures of the famous French Quaters.
Our mission is to:
1. Set-up places where people can create fundred dollar bills.
2. Write letters to printing companies asking them to donate paper and to print green fundred templates
3. Write letters to banner companies and ask them to print us out a banner
4. Collect 20 gallons of used cooking oil
5. Collect 10,000 fundred dollar bills
6. make a safe
7. Go out to different companies and places of business and ask them could we set- up fundred creation stands
I am interested in the Fundred Dollar bill project. However I do not honestly think we are going to have time to complete this project by the end of the school year. I am also unsure of where I myself can began.
