Week 3 "Project Say & Salvation Army"

Reaching out to volunteer organizations was actually a huge success. My partner, Sonia, went back to her old volunteer group Project Say to talk to them about joining our project. She went to a meeting they held and she received lots of information and ideas as to what we are going to do soon. She has also been able to talk to her friend in another school to be able to get our project fliers approved while I get them approved in our school and another school. While she went to Project Say I went to Salvation Army OC and met with their activities directors and accomplished on getting their full support. They were so gracious and excited about helping a student help the community. They're an amazing group that volunteer with anyone interested and help the whole community in so many ways. When they discus our project within themselves and let their volunteers know, hopefully we'll be able to start collecting good and set the dates to collect them and donate.

week 2 "Getting the Word Out"

I thought getting the word out would definitely be easier. We're getting in contact with "Project Say Specialists,"  here in Anaheim. Hoping he would agree to help us. It would be such a positive support for our project. Next we are going to Salvation Army OC to hopefully gain their support with donations and getting fellow volunteers involved. Getting to be able to show everyone, how much you really can help the people in need makes it worth it. Lots of excitement from my partner and myself, hoping to being able to set dates of collection. We are also sending the fliers to other schools and getting them approved, making another resource to collect from and hopefully get more volunteers. Waiting for such things does take time but there is progress and getting the foundation of helping the homeless set. I'm really hoping my school's asst. principle will let me present and pass it on to ASB to get it approved so it can pass through school.
