 * Description of my SLP (Service Learning Project) **

Dering my S.L.P (Service Learning Project) I did a variety of different things. I did most of my work through my meeting ,I am the teen secretary for my youth group so I get to make a lot of the designs for my group of peers. I attended a lot of conference calls and different meeting to organize all of our future plans. Then I went to the first retreat of the year, held in I.N at a camp called Happy Hollow. As for our volunteer work we started to hand knit caps. We also sowed gator; gator is to protect the neck and parts of someone’s face. We made these to send to the soldiers overseas

. The next retreat I went to was held at Fall Creek also in I.N. My friend Mackenzie acuminated me on my trip. We started the long weekend with teach – back sharing program. In the program ever participants attending thought the entire group something of value. This educated the group in many different ways. Over the next three days we also worked on are fundraiser. That we later sold back to are meeting houses. Are fundraiser consisted of making peanut bridal from scratch, decorating different bags and bagging them once more into different bags. By the end of the weekend there were about 60 bags with several pieces of peanut bridal in each bag. The next thing we weatherize some different people’s houses. We partnered with habitat for humanity, in their local programming. They sent us a care package with all kinds of supplies that we were to use. At the houses we installed carbon dioxide detectors, replaced outlet, cocked around widows and installed weather strips. The people were extremely gratefully making us all feel really good about the job we had just done. The people we helped told us that for their 3 bed room house they spent over $1000 in bills and because of that they had to get assistances from the government to live. So the weatherizing gave them hope for the future of their living expenses.

Later Mackenzie and I went out on our own to inform the public. We did some research and got a lot of environmental and prevention facts. We made homemade flyers and with our information on them. After that we went to all the local business and got permission to post are flyers. For the most part they were happy to help us. Later that week my unknowing friends were reciting my facts back at me. So I call that a job well done for educating the public. I am very glad I could help different people in so many different ways through my S.L.P.
