Throughout this project I have gained and executed the leadership skill of taking action and being more responsible. A question that we made as a group at the beginning of this Kahiau Project was… How can we supply the homeless with better food and water, and how can that be used in the betterment of their conditions? Throughout the month of January, I have continued to collect canned goods from my friends and my family, I have even reached out to some of the people in my community, and I got many good responses and have added even more cans to my donation pile. Moving forward my next steps are to advertise even more, and to begin organizing my donations as well as communicating with the people in my group to begin the process of making our final donation to the Hawaii food bank.

The plan that our group had over the break was to spread the awareness about the problem that we want to help solve, being that we wanted to give some of the homeless in Hawaii a chance to have the proper necessities like food to be happier and healthier. We also wanted to give our friends and family a heads up on our plans to collect any canned goods that they may want to donate to us. We had also planned to begin collecting canned goods each on our own to start small and begin working our way up into something that could make a greater difference. As for what I actually got done over break, I had started with making a separate pile of canned goods in my own home that I would donate instead of keeping for ourselves. I also spread the word to many of my family and friends over the holidays, and got a lot of good responses and I have many offers from people who want to donate, as well as a few people who have already added cans to my donation pile. So far there have been no changes to the plan, but we have since decided that we are going to give our donations to the Hawaii Food Bank for them to distribute because they know better than we do about the needs of the people. The 3 specific next steps we plan to take is to advertise to the people that I havenʻt yet, more specifically the people in our school and communities. Then to increase my own donation pile, and lastly when everyone has collected a good amount of canned goods we will put our collections together and give it to the Hawaii Food Bank.
