Re-Do of Entry One

Oops! As an avid personal blogger, I registered our group under a livejournal.com account, and missed the specific directions, thus here we are on blogger.com instead! And below is our first entry imported from our old blog.

Hey everyone!
First and foremost, I think the group members of "Helping Them Help Themselves" (or H2T2, for short) want to introduce ourselves. I'm Kayleigh - and I'll be the primary blogger for our group in Organizations 330-405, discussion 606 @ 8:00 a.m. (Early, we know!) Rebecca, Jesse, Scott, and Dan are the other team members.

If I had to describe my group members (after these 2 weeks) I'd say:
Rebecca is our fearless, type-A (in a good way!) project leader and organizer
Jesse is full of ideas & always ready to execute
Scott is our "tech-ie" and is supportive
and Dan is the new kid on the block, willing to dive right into the project with us.
And, as for me?...I'd say I'm the creative one, but with realistic expectations.To further understand our team name ('helping them help themselves'), we have to get down to the details of our project idea. We all have a passion for helping others, so we decided to donate our time to a cause, instead of just planning one large fundraiser. Another concept we all agreed on, was the ability we have, as young adults, to make an impact on a child's life.

Long story short, Rebecca has close ties with an organization that supervises children (ages 4+) after school, because their parents cannot afford child care services. We decided as a group to go meet with these children numerous times over the semester and become a part of their lives. During these visits, our group wanted to teach the children important values and life lessons - but all with a fun twist!

Ideas included:
-an "olympics" day, that teaches the children the importance of physical activity as well as setting - and succeeding - personal goals
-"kids in the kitchen", where we teach children healthy snacks that they can make with their friends and family
...and many more! We can't give away all our ideas just yet. The bottom line: H2t2 is getting excited to start this project!
