Turning over a New Leaf

Recently, I've mulled over my previous idea of "Food for Thought," in which we would raise money through a bake sale to buy books to donate to a school that needed such educational books. However, I decided that such actions were too impersonal for my tastes. I wanted something more hands-on, I wanted to be able to physically see the impact that my work had on a school.

Thus, with help from Mrs. Sandoval, I decided that my project would now be focused on something new entirely, while still maintaining the same basic idea of donating books. However, I felt that with my experience in both China and Costa in saving endangered animals, combined with Camille's own work in GYLI, we could impart some of our own knowledge whilst still providing the educational benefit of donating the books to a needy school. Thus, I decided that our actions could have a much more personalized and beneficial impact if, when we donated the books, we also gave a speech on our experiences in maintaining the environment.

I think I'll push forward with this idea, and I'll contact some schools about it.
