Week One Reflection

This week was just planning for the next few weeks and for spring break. We already have volunteer locations set up and we have a schedule for the next few weeks. During spring break we are going to be doing individual generous acts and after that we will be volunteering at a different place every week. This week we worked on revising and getting our letters approved to send to our mentors. We also  looked up all of the possible volunteer locations and made a list:
- Nurture for Nature
- Greyhound adoption center
- Ferdinands Familia
We will go to the above places during the next three weeks.

This is a picture of the letter we sent to our mentor

Week One - Starting the Project

For the past week, my partner Alex and I have been starting our generosity with animals project. Our project outline was approved by our teachers after we presented the basic idea, so we have been writing our business letters to request a mentor. Both of us have been researching various charities we plan on volunteering at, such as Ferdinand's Familia, Nurtured by Nature, and the Greyhound Adoption Center. Our next step is to start contacting these organizations to set up times for us to go volunteer.

Hopes, Dreams, and Aspirations

During this project, we hope that we can work with animals and change their lives for the better. In these four weeks our plan is:
Week one: Planning for the next few weeks
Week two: Animal Shelter 1-2 times
Week three:Horse Ranch 1-2 times
Week four: Dog walking around neighborhoods 1-2 times

We selected to base our project off of animals because we were both raised around animals and want to help animals in any way we can. Doing this project was a chance for us both to give back to animals and we jumped on the opportunity right away.
