WHAT I AM PROUD OF Did not believe I could get so many products

“I always used to be nervous to do start something new and by myself but this just proved that I can!”

Students really helped out and donated more

“…it makes me realize that since I did this by myself that I do not always need other’s help.”

Not only did I do I think I did well in a class but I was able to help others

“Hygiene may not seem important to some people but to many it is the very basic to having great health”

GREAT EXPERIENCE…

“I feel that this project will give me more motivation to start and do well in other projects.”

“I also learned how easy it is to help others.”

“Some basic skills I have learned are confidence, hard work, learning the importance of helping others, determination, and cooperation.”

“This project has made me want to continue to be a part of service learning and helping others.”
