It's the last week of selling. I have learned a lot through out this donation. I learned that it isn't easy to donate things in a school, especially if a bunch of kids are selling things much similar to you. My group started our slideshow last week Friday and I wasn't here to help. But, I will this week to make sure it's okay and it looks good. As soon as we figure out our credit card situation my group plans on donating our money to Uganda and we hope that even though it was a little bit, it still helps them somehow in someway
My group has made $30 in all. But, in order to donate we need a credit card and it's hard because my mom lost her credit card so I have no idea how to donate our money to the fundraiser. I'm probably going to give my money to one of my group members and have them add my money into the amount so that they can donate it for me. If i can't do that I need to think of another idea of how I'm going to donate money
Week 4 is pretty bad as of right now because more kids in my school are selling things. Its not even for the school project, it's just for them. I haven't been able to sell anything because it not what people are "hungry" for. On top of all that, last week Saturday I wasn't home, and my mom cleaned the house. While cleaning the house she miss placed my money I made for the donations. I only have my own $10 and I'm probably gonna just donate that. That's better than nothing.
This week I didn't sell anything. I don't want to keep selling brownies only because a lot of people are selling brownies around school and I don't want people to not buy my brownies cause they're sick of eating it.
In week 3, I sold more brownies. I bought two boxes last time, but this time I only one box and I made $8 dollars. It's not much but I was scared to buy a lot of brownies and it wouldn't end up being a good seller.
A challenge that I'm having at the moment is that the brownies I brought to school the first week that everyone loved is sold out in stores. I'm having a hard time thinking about what I'm going to sell next only because I want to sell things that people would want to eat during school.
In week 2, I was able to buy 2 boxes of mini brownies and a box of chocolate chip cookies. I sold brownies; 3 for $1 and 3 cookies for $2. The brownies sold out good, but the cookies didn't so I changed the price from $2 to $1 and when I did everyone bought cookies.
What do you personally/as a group hope to learn?
A personal connection I have with this project is I know of someone that is infected with HIV and has been spreading it amongst his family. It's a sad and scary thing, I just hope I learn how people that are infected or know someone that's infected feel about it. What do you hope to accomplish? How can we help raise money, awareness, for the purpose of girls orphaned by HIV/AIDS in Uganda? We hope that we can aid in the projects money donation What leadership skills/traits are you trying to exhibit? How can we as a group exhibit leadership skills? We want to show helpfulness (Kōkua), responsibility (Kuleana) and respect (aloha) What are the challenges that orphans face growing up without a family due to death by a terminal medical issue? The challenges that the orphans face is not being able to come home to a loving family. They lose education, a house, food and daily needs. What are the challenges that may come up during this project? The challenges my group will face in completing this project is not getting enough money by the due ate or trying to figure out what we're going to sell and if our product even will sell. In week one, our plan was to buy our things and start selling them around the school. Unfortunately, that didn't go as planned and we have been busy with sports and school that we weren't able to buy products. But this weekend my group talked about buying what we need from Costco to start selling.
