My project is doing fine from what I can see. I haven’t run into a big problem just yet. The hardest thing I have to say that I have to do is to find some a way to get my community involved. I thought that would be the easiest thing to do because people might [...]

Sadly enough I must report that difficulties have risen in the implementation of my project. Problems surely arise and my project tends to mold itself. Things come into play as time moves on and problems come at me as a freshman that I am still learning to deal with. So I sort of evolved my [...]

If you ever want to feel special or want to feel like you do make a difference in someone’s life then my recommendation to you is to tutor. As I continuously walk through the doors week after week to the homework clinic numbers of children’s faces light up and shout “hi” as they wave [...]

My project is still coming slow but not for lack of trying. I had searched for blood donation centers on the internet and found that there were at least two of them off Tulane Ave. fairly close to the courthouse. I had passed by there a few times on my way from school to work, [...]

Many of the hospitals that I have contacted want volunteers to go through a period of training before they can volunteer and after training they require the volunteers to do a period of volunteer service.
