Donation Deliveries!

The last month was a busy one as the students made their videos about the non-profit of their choice and solicited donations from at least 2 different communities. Some students set up GoFundMe sites to help them raise money, while others formed partnerships with stores to aid in their collections. Here are the results, by the numbers...

4 baby bottles, 136 diapers, 3 body lotions, 1 bath salts, 2 cleaning towels, 4 deodorants, 6 shaving creams, 8 shampoo and conditioners, 4 mouthwashes, 10 razors, 8 toothpastes, 12 toothbrushes, 20 soaps, 3 horse fly sprays, 2 detanglers, 2 horse brushes, 1 hoof polish, 2 worming pastes, 1 bucket of SandRid, 10 jars of peanut butter, 2 bags of food, countless pens, lots of binders, 10 cans of dog food, 9 bags of towels and blankets, 15+ bags of dog food and accessories, 4 boxes of books, 2 bags of toiletries, 1 flip phone, 1 box of baby products, more than $3100, and MORE!

WOW!

Thursday was a busy day as we drove 146 miles to deliver the $3100+ and 35 bags and boxes of items. While it was a lot of time spent in the bus, seeing the faces of those from the 9 non-profits receiving these things was priceless.

The students did some reflecting about their projects and here are the things they learned most.
