My proposal for my 20 time project is to make bracelets and raise money for cancer patients at the University of Iowa hospital. I am working with Tayler and Anjali to make string bracelets for kids and then we were thinking of ways to raise more money to fund cancer research by doing a bake sale or something. One suggestion I got from my classmate was to make an afterschool volunteer time to have our peers come help us make bracelets. They also said that it was a good idea worth doing.
One success is that we have come up with a project and have ideas such as the after school day and bake sale to accomplish our goal. We have found a mentor to help us with this project and a room to make bracelets in, Mr. Mallicoat has offered to help us and we can have a bracelet making day in his class room.
I have found some statistics and facts from this website that made me realize just how much cancer patients need help. http://www.acco.org/us-childhood-cancer-statistics/
This week I would like to research more facts and find a time to do our after school bracelet making day.
