The Problem

A team member and I have been seeing many news coverages as well as newspaper articles about the disasterous damage in Galveston, Texas caused by hurricane Ike. Although this hurricane struck land many months ago, many people are still living in shelters without some of their basic essentials, and possibly, without hope. My teammate and I have streched the limits trying to raise and collect these essentials to send to a needing shelter. The name of our project is Project Gave, which stands for Giving Ike Victims Essentials.

Plan of Action

It took a lot of time and thought to build up this amazing idea, and we have made many step to raising the essentials. We have planned out and thought about many fundraiser ideas. We have also been impacted by many challenges, such as a shortage of time, and unwillingness from others to help. We are still in progress of collecting, so we have yet to make an impact on the shelter. Although, our communication, and teamwork skills have improved a lot.
