We made okay progress this week, regarding donating time to people in need. I've donated my time to my parents and elderly neighbors. I did dishes, mowed lawns, vacuumed carpets, swept kitchens, raked leaves, taken out trash, etc. I wasn't, however, able to make much money throughout this endeavor. Whatever I could make, I donated. I've been out of school for a fairly long time, but my group has been working diligently on completing blogs, powerpoints, and our pamphlet.
We are showing laulima by working together to try to come up with new solutions. We are trying to figure out new/better ways to reach our goal now that we cannot sell on campus. By trying to work through this endeavor, we are also showing ho'omau or perseverance. We may find it extremely hard to work through it, but we wont give up. We've now decided to give up our time to our 'ohana and communities in order to collect money to donate. We've learned more about the Philippines by researching that society and the people that live there.
We are now prohibited from selling goods and whatnot on campus. So we had to start brainstorming and thinking of new ideas on how to make money. Or at least new ideas on where to sell our goods that we have decided to make. We are really behind now, but that's not a problem. We can put our heads together and come up with a new plan
This week was pretty fun. It took longer than I thought it would to come to a consensus as to what we were going to sell and how much to sell it for. It was interesting however to see all of our ideas as to how to make more profit. All and all, this was a somewhat productive week. We all showed laulima by working together to think of solutions. We also showed ho'ihi by respecting and valuing each others opinions.

Aloha. I'm La'a. This project is important to me because, growing up, I was fortunate enough to have the money and supplies to go to not just any school, but Kamehameha. Which is one of the most prestigious schools in the state. However, not everyone is so blessed.
