A unique project that I am definitely considering is called the greenhouse gas inventory project. Through this program, I want to pursue policies, laws and regulations that are hoped to result in the decrease of greenhouse gas emissions. Another major goal of my project would be to get individuals to understand that its not mother [...]

As a partial scientist, I think that humans are to blame for the currently observed trends of global warming and climate changes. Human activity is reshaping the composition of the atmosphere through the buildup of greenhouse gases. Although global warming is a fact, uncertainty exists about exactly how Earth’s climate responds to greenhouse gases. Global [...]

The problem that I’m addressing is homeless people. My first step in helping them get back on their feet is to find housing/shelter for them, and then try to help them find a job. If the person is homeless due to abuse or mentally illness, I will try to seek them help from doctors.

EDIT: I [...]

For my big project, I decided to work with Uyen Ho to donate knit works made by us to the West Jeff Medical Center. The knitting and crocheting will be done by us and we hope to convince others to join. Throughout the course we plan to have a bake sale and use that money [...]

Homelessness is a big problem and it is only getting bigger after Hurricane Katrina ripped through the south on August 29, 2006 and destroyed a lot of people houses and business. The damages of Hurricane Katrina are still being repair as I’m writing this blog. Some people are still living in FEMA trailers or housing. [...]

Basically my project for this semester is to deal with people that have high blood pressure. Not many people know whether or not they have high blood pressure because it does not have any symptoms. What i can do is buy the machine and test any person that i interact with to see if they [...]

As an education major, I am dedicated to quality education in our elementary schools. The area I would like to focus on for the semester is social studies education, which will help create good citizens who are activist-intellectuals. By getting [...]

For my project, i decided to help raise money to rebuild a local discount pharmacy (Franklin Avenue Pharmacy) in the New Orleans area.

What I am basically going to do with my partner, Sally Le, is to knit or crochet for babies and children. The clothes will be made and donated to the West Jefferson Medical Center so that the clothes or accessories will be given to babies. In this case, parents who are unable to [...]

Right now there is a shortage of volunteers every where, like the recreational centers for kids, the health units, the shelters, the nursing homes, the hospitals, habitat for humanity, and etc. Volunteering will be my project of choice. Today, there are so many areas of volunteering, so you will have to think about [...]

I will team up with Sally Le in carrying out this project. We were actually surfing through one website to another so that we can find some ideas on how we can help hospitals. All of a sudden, we landed on a website called www.carewear.org. Basically, this website explained that anyone can [...]

I want to help public school children in Kindergarten through fifth grade at my son’s elementary school, Metairie Grammar, receive Junior Achievement lessons, which teach economics and stress the importance of a good education. This volunteer-run program teaches about government, families, money, businesses, and the community, all of which are very important post-Katrina. [...]

My project will be volunteering. There is a need for volunteers everywhere and by me volunteering, it will help out a little tiny bit one day at a time. It’s not much but it’s better than nothing. I plan on going out next week to find a clinic or hospital to volunteer [...]

In my last blog I was focusing on starvation poverty and the need of more medical assistance. Those were the three biggest problems that I thought faced our society today. The purpose of my blog will be to initiate a service that can help people who are affected by [...]

The problems that I talked about in my week two blog dealt with everyday issues that not only affected my life but others around me, even those I don’t and will never know. But I also have to be realistic about how I can most effectively change the world in one semester and planting trees [...]

For my project, I intend on dealing with the lack of education among today’s youth. I chose education becaue I believe that without the proper education the world will not continue to advance. In addition, I want to help overcome the stereotype that says that most minorities are not as intelligent and [...]

In last week’s blog, I discussed three main problems that are plaguing the world today. The three topics that I discussed were poverty, education and violence. Of these three problems I presumed that the problem I could do the most about was education. Once I decided that, many different ideas began to pop into as [...]

Poverty is the problem I will be addressing this semester. I believe poverty is the biggest problem plaguing the world, and especially New Orleans today.
