The past few weeks we have broken up into committees for the majority of our class. We have found that this is an efficient way to get work done for each initiative we have committed to. We are excited about the work we are doing with Summit in Honduras, Hope for Honduran Children and LUPE. We are also developing our plans for the business summit that will be held next spring. We are in the process of getting this event approved by Elon.
Members of our class had the pleasure of attending a LUPE board meeting this past week. This was very beneficial in further determining what LUPE is and how we can help them! We have decided to research grants in order to find funding for one of their specific needs. We would like to collaborate with LUPE in writing the grant in order for this to be a sustainable process. It would be advantageous for their organization to have grant writing skills that can regularly support their organization.
The Summit in Honduras committee was able to Skype with Maggie! They had a great conversation with her about potential ways we can help her organization. We are trying to focus on plans that we can achieve here, rather than projects that would require us to be in Honduras. We got very exciting news that one of the Hope for Honduran boys will be working with Summit. We are all very excited that our partners have formed a relationship that benefits individuals in Honduras!
Cookies to Go Go was a successful event again this year! We raised over $300.00! These funds will go toward providing children in Honduras with school supplies through Hope for Honduran Children.
We are all very excited to meet the new class of Pericleans at the Induction Ceremony on Thursday!
