I started Students Helping Students (initially called'Project Hope')in September 2005 as a student-run organization to assist Louisiana schools impacted by Hurricane Katrina. At that time, more than 150,000 children were left without schools or even basic supplies. More than 2 years later, the New Orleans school system is still struggling to revive, and a tremendous need for assistance remains. So far, Students Helping Students has sent books and supplies to help the following 16 Louisiana schools: Westwood Elementary, J.D. Clifton Elementary, Moss Bluff Elementary, M.J.

In Lake Providence,Louisiana where I stay; I  Lincoln donated some school supplies to the local elementary schools, because some of those kids were in need of school supplies. I started my journey out at Northside Elementary School, where I donated a box full of school supplies. I took a picture for the paper, holding the box in my hand, handing it to the teacher of the preschoolers. The last school I donated school supplies to was Southside Elementary were I donated two full boxes of school supplies because there are way more children in this school.
