This week was all about planning out our fundraising strategy. We are in the works of finding a specific organization to target, but we plan on raising money to help fight hunger and homelessness. In terms of how we are going to go about raising the money, we are still in the process of figuring it out. We had originally planned on setting up a bake sale with the help of a local business. However, we found that it would be easier to set up in a farmer's market. To maximize profits, we would need to attend an event, which would be hard to time so it can land on the last few weeks of the project. As we discussed some more, we began to draft up some possible alternatives. Instead of donating money, we could donate food directly to pantries. We would need to bake something that doesn't go bad quickly enough before it can be dispensed, such as bread. We will continue to explore more possibilities in the future.
Another thing we needed to address this week was time management. This week, we did a poor job of managing our time and setting a planned schedule, so we were not able to do any baking. As a result, we were stuck planning. As we continue forward with this project, we need to figure out how to balance our busy days from school with making time to bake and continue everything needed for the project. Not only will figuring out time management help us in this project, but it will also help us throughout the rest of our lives, so it is important we learn it now before we create too bad of a habit of procrastination and putting things off. Next week, we plan to make brownies and practice time management to make things easier on ourselves.
