II. Fake break trip with Hope for Honduran Children-Meredith, Christian and April
A. Treats from Honduras
B. What we did
– Visited Flor Azul farm and orphanage, visited new HFHC Transition home
– Took video footage and interviews for Sundance Film Festival Entry
– Isabel mentioned being interested in helping this project
-Interviewed some of the boys and recieved some really great insight from them
All of them are very appreciative of their situation and they want to make the best of it (go to college/go to the transitional home)
C. Observations about the organization
– Transition House = awesome way for Periclean to get involved and in a sustainable way
– Many aspects such as delegation of tasks could be handled better and in a more sustainable way -> potential project: audit organization to improve sustainability
– CRHP model (Periclean: India) could be adopted and put into the works for HFHC
E. Question/Answer
– Where would we fit into this? -> so many options (Supporting a child financially, writing an external grant, building facilities, help out with sustainability of the organization, etc.), Will be on the report and discussed next class.
-More potential projects:
making a CD from audio and selling it
selling bracelets→ maybe having different departments order bracelets specific to their department
Setting up distributors for jewelry
Donate laptops
-Will there be a committee that focuses solely on this? → Thinking about having a committee of 4 or 5 people. Some ideas for the committee include, answering some of Karen’s daily emails about trip details, making the website better (with a promo), basically manage the projects with Karen
F. Discussion in small groups about findings on “Founderitis” and partnership with H4HC (Did not get this far)
G. Deadline timeline. Time to go home and process. Make a decision by next class.
Next Class: Meredith and Christian will have a report for the class to read and the class will bring questions; make a timeline and establish a focus
