SERVICE LEARNING...Monday, April 21, 2008

1. Reflect on Thursday's meeting via your blog. Group leaders should also email me with questions, ideas, and notes. Required: three positives about the meeting, and three challenges you face.

I think that our meeting on Monday was one of the best we'll ever have. We gained so much in what we would do. We found how we would make money and we also found what the children in CHOP would need! Yet I do have one question about our mission & our roles in the group! I am not sure what actually our role is, is it JUST TO FOLLOW MRS. MADHI'S RULES??? Well I do not think that we should just have to do this. I think that we should all have just as much a say in what happens in our group as Mrs. Madhi does! Though she is a teacher it still does not mean that she has to dictate our group!

A role that I would like to have in the group is the reporter, I like the idea! I could also take on the role of a Photographer/Videographer.

Service Learning- March 3-7

I have been trying to find things to do for my independent service learning hours for a long time. On the other hand for a long time people have been telling me that I am way too young to volunteer everywhere that I go... even the Philadelphia public library! For the school wide project, I suggested that we help the homeless, but I can tell that from the responses that I heard from the teacher, & students that this will not happen!

What interest me, is the fact that I could hold the power to help as many as one to over one-hundred people during this project. I would like to help families in shelters, this way I could help as many people as possible. Contacts, I already have. I have a personal contact to the Salvation Army Family Residence Shelter, this way I could talk to people about what they need and how they can be helped! I have lots of research and I know that I can make this happen with the proper support from my school!
