Oh my, it's already been a month of blogging! Although the time has gone fast, the motion of our project has not. We seem to be struggling with the race against time. Another challenge we are finding is our conflicting schedules which is also making things difficult. Despite all that, we have contacted a few people and groups(ENCO and Lifesavers), but not much else has gotten done. Our main focus right now is our fundraisers, which we have laid the foundation for and we simply need the school's permission to begin them. We plan to do most of them through the school and also do some services outside the This week we plan to figure out the fine details of our events like if we are going to have a speaker and who we want to help, and a rough idea for the cost of rent in hopes to make our event successful.

Introduction-Week OneHello! I'm Jackie and I attend Civic Memorial High School. I am working on this amazing project, "Project Auxilium" with two of my friends as well. We decided to do this project together because we all have a passion for raising awareness for mental health because we all have family members who suffer or have suffered from some form of mental illness. We also noticed that many of our friends who have problems have no clue what they are, and believe that its normal. Our goal is to raise awareness for mental health, but we are not exactly sure what we event we plan to put on, potentially a mental health fair, a five k/ fun run or picnic. In order to put on this event, we plan to do many fundraisers through our school and community, like penny wars, selling t-shirts and whatever else that seems to benefit us. My fear is that we may not be successful in advertising and have little turn out to our event, but I believe that we will be able to do well. To combat this fear, we are going start and manage a few social media pages(most likely an Instagram page and Twitter) to spread awareness as well. Our dream would be to be able to make our event annual and not just a one time project. I'm very excited to be able to work with an amazing team to make a big difference in our small town. |
