July 24th

Today I worked on my proposal now that I went to that meeting and finally selected a project. I really hope everything works out because I really believe that it will help the people of Darfur even if its in the smallest way every step helps. I also talked to you about my notes (and how heels cause hammer toes) and Im on the right track so thats a relief. I asked Mr. boring if he wanted to help sponsor the clubs and he said he would! So the first step is done.

Tonight is the PDEC meeting. I emailed one of the leaders of the group and they said that they always are discussing things that they can do to get more people involved and that Ill probably get some good ideas at the meeting. Today I will do some additional research and take some more notes on my topic.

Today I worked on note taking and I highlighted all my articles except 1 that I have left to do. I still have to type the notes into the computer but that shouldn't take me too long. I read that whole article about teenage involvment, and the kids in the article started a club to raise awareness and they do things like have people speak at their school after hours and do things to raise money to help send aid over there and I think its a really good idea but a big one, to start a new club so thats maybe something I would want to do for my action project

Plus there was a big step for darfur china talked to sudan about what there doing. Here is a link to the article

Today I worked on searching for my action project. I started reading up on some websites about what were ways to help and it lead me to doctors without boarders. This website had a place were you could donate and fund raise for them. It said that if you registered your event with them they would give out letter to everyone who donated that would be tax deductible, so i started looking up fund raising ideas and i thought that maybe i could do a movie night or maybe a carnival to raise money for them

Today I started to work on my proposal and did as much as I could do without knowing my actoin plan, so then I went onto pittsburgh darfur and saved some pictures from the march and starting looking threw the sight. I found the email adress and sent the head person on the website and email telling them about my graduation project and asking them if they know anything that teens can do. I also research more info on what was going on in darfur and found that radio station you were telling me about.

Today I typed the remaining notes that I took yesterday into the the computer. My computer froze half way through but luckily I saved it so I didnt loose anything. I am going to talk to ms. King about my action project and well start thinking about what i wanna do

June 4th

Today I read three articles today and highlighted the information that answered each of my 10 questions. The first article was Q&A and has a lot of information about the actions taken, I also wrote the notes on my computer about the article. The other two articles I didn't get to type up my notes from the other articles yet but I will do that tomorrow. I also have been thinking about my action project and I think I either want to do something to raise money for an organization that sends aid to Darfur or maybe talk to the girl that is from Darfur that lives in Philadelphia now who started an organization to help the kids by sending them school supplies and other things that will help them and make them feel like their life is a little better.
