Helping/Collecting
About the project
Helping hands is a project focused on giving back to those in need. My goal is to collect donations of soaps and socks through my church. I have had a passion for helping those in need ever since I can remember. I went on my first mission trip the summer of 2014, and we went to Savannah, Georgia. Once I went on that trip, it changed my perspective on those who are in need. With this Genius Hour project, I plan to further my journey of helping those in need.
During my 12 week collection process, I will visit the church each week to get an idea of how many donations I have received. My driving question, is "If we are all so fortunate, why are we hesitant to reach out to those who need us the most?" Having this question present on my posters I create will help me to obtain my donation goal.
I will do blog entries each week to keep you updated on what I have collected and what setbacks and challenges I am facing. I will also post the successes and positive occurrences. I can't wait to see my progress each week and share it with you as well!
