WooHooo YEAH! More school supplies!

               


What we have accomplished this week is that we actually managed to get more school supplies. This week we managed to get a box full of supplies!!! We are happy that people are actually donating. We don't usually get a lot of school supplies, but something better than nothing right? So, nothing really hasn't gone wrong as I remember everything was fine. The challenges that we faced was trying to convince people to donate more. We wanted to try and get as much school supplies as possible before the delivery date. Yes, my skills have improved. I can talk comfortably with my mentees and we actually work together to get the things done. Yes, we are on track with the delivery date. Our delivery date is on a Wednesday, March 21, 2018. no adjustments need to be made on our timeline. Our next action is to deliver the school supplies to FMSMS.                                     

  

UPDATE!

                      What we accomplished is that we posted our flyers on the doors and Ruth sent an email to the Principal of FMSMS, as shown above. We also did some team building games so we can communicate better and so we can work as a team instead of them just sitting around while we do our blogs. What went wrong our project is that we were unable to get a lot of donations as our previous week. The challenges that we faced was that we didn't get as many donations as we wanted. What i have learned through the process is that we need to explain in more detail about our project because not many students know about the donation boxes and I don't think that they took us seriously when we were presenting. My skills improved by being more open and talking to my Mentees more than i usually do. We are barely on track with delivery-time because of the donations. The adjustments that we made is the email that Ruth sent. We sent it earlier than expected. Our next action is to try and get more students to donate school supplies so we can get enough to donate to FMSMS. 

Finally Progressing Again :)

 Our group going into Ms. Echon's class to put in the donation boxes and to present about it.

        Finally! we've been making progress for the past week. We finally put the two remaining boxes into their designated classrooms. My group and our mentees presented about what the purpose of the donation boxes are for. My group is finally getting on track with our timeline. We are finally following the timeline. What went wrong was that Ruth didn't have the boxes in her car because her mom took it out of the trunk. So, we couldn't put the boxes in. The challenges that we faced was that we had to keep changing the dates on our timeline because we weren't following our dates. What I learned through the process was that we should follow our timeline because if we don't we wouldn't be on track and everything that should be on a specific date will be delayed. My skills have improved the past few weeks. I have been able to at least try and get something done on time like the first donation box. We are actually on track now with delivering our boxes since we made some adjustments to our timeline. The that we made in our timeline was the dates of putting the donation boxes into their designated classrooms and the dates of speaking to the principle of FMSMS and also for putting up more flyers. We also changed the date of checking the donation boxes from every end of the month to every Friday. Our next action is to check the donation boxes next week Friday which is January 26, 2018.

Going into Mr. Miura's class to do the same thing we did in Ms. Echon's class.

Progresssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

           

Mentees putting the donation box in Ms. Esmundo's class!

        Entering 2018 with School supplies woohoo! So Many things have happened since my last post. First, we got all the boxes wrapped so it can be placed in the designated classrooms, but we had a problem. When me, Ruth, and the mentees went to go get the boxes from our cars, Ruth didn't have the boxes so, we only had one. So, we will be placing the remaining boxes next week Thursday which is on January 18, 2018. We put one of the boxes in Ms. Esmundos class already and Ruth gave the students a brief description of what the purpose of the boxes are for. We were supposed to put our boxes in the classrooms during winter break, but we didn't get to so, we also had to change the dates in the timeline for placing the boxes in the classroom. Another problem that we faced was the lack of communication. Ruth was in Korea during winter break. So, we didn't want to bother her during the trip. What I learned from my problems was that we should always stick to our schedule and not slack off. My skills have improved by communicating to the mentees more and making them participate in putting the boxes in the class. My next action is to present to the classes that we will be putting the boxes in, about our project and what the purpose of the boxes are for.

The supplies that Caress will be donating!
