Suzie’s entry – Something more than community service

I have always had a heart for my community. I come from an under represented background, so I try and give back to the community. This project is so special to me because I know that we all making a  difference.

I am part of logistics which is a huge position of the project. We don’t really get to build anything physically, but we do have to build trust and lasting relationships with the rest of the community. Jamie, our Project Manager, has secured  vital components for PolyHouse, which really brings the project into perspective, and makes me think “This is really gonna happen!”. We have had a lot of victories, but I expect some defeats as well. I have started calling and visiting different restaurants in SLO to get food donations for our volunteers. Currently, we do not have any confirmations yet but I know they are coming.

I have been a part of many organizations that work on community projects, but the vibe of this class surpasses any other organization. It may be that we are in a class setting, it may not, but I can honestly say that our class has a genuine devotion and passion to this project.

I am blessed to work with such passionate students and with such a strong family.
