We went to Dax's house last week, and began to donate the clothes. We had a turnout of 9 bags of clothes. This is a lot, and can go to multiple people to help their lives easier. Mainly for the homeless, have semi-new clean clothes can make a world of difference, and help them move into society.I think we made a difference these people, and I hope that they feel thankful for the work we put in. This is what being a global citizen is all about.

Overall I think this project was a success, because we had a lot of hurdles to jump over, and we won the race in the end. We were able to collect an acceptable amount of clothes, and really helped people in the end. I think this project really helped me to understand the true meaning of a global citizen. It really showed me that even though I never really donated money, the clothes we donated helped make a world of difference. Now a global citizen is someone who puts other people, including people outside of they neighborhood or even country which is why it has the word global in it. I believe than being a global citizen is important, but there is something more important than taking care of people outside of your country. I think that we need to work on helping our community, then work our way out. If we were able to make one fully functional community, then everybody would be help everybody out.
We collected the clothes, and had a pretty good turn out. We hosted this event this weekend, and a lot of people showed up, and supported what we were doing. I don't remember how many trash bags that we collected, but it was at least 10. Now we will be going to a shelter to donate these clothes, and get them straight to the source. I hope that what we did as our project had just as big of an effect as it would be if we raised money instead.
