The problem that interest me the most is pollution in our world. Pollution is a problem that is on-going that will be eventually fixed by us working together. There are many different types of pollution. For example a few pollutions are air pollution that are cause by plant factories and automobiles, yes the cars that [...]

My Project is coming along slowly. The implementation time is coming right around midterms. I had planned to do my first donation in the beginning of October but I failed. I could not find the time to do it and study, and get assignments done and turned in. I have also been saying that I [...]

The issue in today’s society that I have chosen to address is the degrading of women by men and through advertising. With my topic I will discuss a variety of things from the portal of women in videogames, to stereotypes of women, and video girls also know as video vixens. Listed bellow is some information [...]

I plan on basing my entire project around a young man at my church who was recently shot in the chest while to break up a fight in his neighborhood. I am going to work with the teenagers at my church so that they understand what happened to him and why people should have [...]

So far, my project is still going great. I still tutor in the House of Studies, Monday thru Wednesday. I even have some personal relationships with some of the students that come to be tutored. I had the opportunity to speak with one boy’s mom and that was really nice. I love tutoring the kids [...]

I think that I am helping to improve the world through my project because I am reaching out to our youth. My weekly tutoring session gives the children in the neighborhood something positive to do for an evening. These kids are part of a generation totally different from those in the past. For the most [...]

Despite a rough start, my project is now coming along quite well. My Friday night tutoring sessions have been a big hit in the neighborhood near my church, which is part of Algiers, and I keep getting kids who want to participate, even this late in the school year, I think that it may be [...]

My project will be to assess and counteract the problem of negative perceptions of and among young African American females and our role in society.
My project for this semester includes mentoring young girls and helping them to become sexually, physically, emotionally, educationally, and mentally aware of themselves, their community, society, and options that will help [...]

The implementation of my project is going well. My original plan was to tutor students at their school to help make education more important and as my icon suggests from last week’s blog eliminate empty desks. Because I do not have transportation to get these schools, I am not able to carry out my original [...]

I don’t think that my project with neither the library or with helping out at the church improved the world. On the other hand I would agree that the library will help the entire city of New Orleans. Who knows maybe even the state of Louisiana. And as for the church it probably helped the [...]

Well unfortunately so far I haven’t done much with my project to help raise money with Dr. Homan and some of my fellow students for a library. I did have an idea which would include the all the students here at Xavier to get involved during the week of Homecoming. I did it in high [...]

My project is progressing well. It actually feels good to know that I am helping people that are less fortunate than I am. On Thanksgiving morning my cousin and I volunteered our services at a local church. We brought some different dishes that we made the night before, which were quite delicious. We also set-up [...]

I have decided to do my project on helping to raise money to build a library. I have decided to help with this because I feel as though many people nowadays are very negligent of what is going on in the world around them. So I figured what better way than for people to read [...]

The project is moving along nicely. The Date Auction and visit to the Music Village was a huge success. The Date Auction raised a few hundred dollars for those people living in poverty. We are still planning to go to the New Orleans Mission for Thanksgiving to help those in poverty. [...]

“http://www.globalissues.org/TradeRelated/Facts.asp” is a great source for facts about poverty. They state “that nearly three billion people live on less than two dollars a day;” that’s nearly half the world! I know that almost no one in the United States could live off of just two dollars a day. We live in a [...]

Originally I decided to work with Dr. Homan on raising money to help reach his goal of 1 million dollars to help build a library in New Orleans. I had plans on being a great aspect to the group but it didn’t end up going the way I had planned. Unfortunately I have not done [...]

My project is coming along quite well. I have been working with the students often to prepare them for upcoming tests and projects, and they have been helping me to prepare for finals (which I am glad will be over VERY SOON). Because of finals and Christmas coming up, I have not been able to [...]

For this week’s blog entry, I will be responding to comments made on the implementation of my community service project. The following students commented on my project’s progress: Brittany Allison, Ashley McNeil, Erica Turnbull, Brian Osborne, and April Loper.
To Brittany Allison:
I’m glad that someone realizes that I am trying to do something for the [...]

I would like for the high school students to take what they get from our project, and become college students, like these above, who read the newspaper =)
So far, the implementation of our project is going great. The meeting with the youth council went very well, and we planned to come back on [...]

I chose the above pictures to represent my project, because I volunteered with Habitat for Humanity a couple weeks ago. Everyone worked together in order to reach a common goal—building houses for people who can’t afford them. We all worked as a team to complete certain tasks.
The weekend before Thanksgiving, I volunteered with Chemistry Club [...]
