Phase 7: Fundraising
ProcessThis was one of the parts of the project that everything depended on. So I think that everyone cared a little bit about it working out even though it didn't seem like it. I think that it was also one of the parts of the project where our team got to come together and bond, since we did all the videos and activities towards the fundraising. I also think that we learned a lot from this experience because we had to call a lot of people and companies about if they would be willing to donate to the project. So from that we learned how to send formal emails that weren't to boring but still had all the info packed into it. Also learning how to talk confidently and comfortable to adults so that they took us seriously and actually took us into consideration. In the process of all that we had many/most people saying that they couldn't donate or that there was a very long wait time, which I think you can connect outside of school and when your older because you get many doors closed on you and you don't always get hired but you have to keep trying until you reach your goal, Which luckily we did.

Reflection |
This process was really nerve wracking because everything depended on it and towards the end things didn't look so good. So many of us started to question what we were going to do if we didn't reach the goal, but our teachers had lot's of hope and would kind of ignore us in a good way. After this experience it really thought me that saving things towards the end isn't the best idea and also being prepared for whatever comes your way.
