2. EARLY PERCEPTIONS
At the beginning of the semester I didnt know what to think, I was
overwhelmed and worried how to commit to a project so big. After
sitting down and discussing the plan of action, we figured out a
way to help our community clean up and raise money for our
troops.
3. Engagement Activities
-We all inquired about the Fully Online Service Learning
Experience.
-We meet every Thursday online at 9 pm.
-We made flyers to help raise awareness about out project and raise
money.

6. Personal Demographics
My experience with this project was very empowering. It helped me
to think about others before myself and I really learned a lot
about different ways reach out and help our community.
I really enjoyed being hands on with this project. My fiance is
currently stationed in Kuwait on a second tour of duty, so it meant
a to me to see that members of the community hadnt forgotten about
our troops.
This was something I will always remember doing for my
community.
7. Engagement Activities
Mostly Online! (chat with group every Thursday for an hour)
We recycled cans to raise money for supplies to send to the
troops.
Asked Family and Friends to collect cans also.
Recycled cans at Top Dollar Recycling.
We bought supplies at the Local Walgreen's and Shipped them to
Iraq.

12. Reflection
This experience has been an eye opener. We see that one simple
can,can be saved by your entire community and recycled so that
Troops in Iraq are able to have some candy to eat and some soap to
wash with. We were so honored to be part of such a humbling
experience!
13. Reflection
All together our group saved $213.00 (collecting cans)
We really came together as a group and worked hard, to support our
troops.
As a future educator I realized while doing this project..that
teaching is not only about the students learning, but about getting
your students to become passionate about something.
14. God Bless our Troops!
