SUMMARY
Reflection
I learned that it takes a lot of organizing and pre-planning to coordinate a book drive. I also felt really good when I donated the books because some of the kids at the school were there to help carry in the books so I got to meet them.
Project Impact
I originally collected about 1700 books but I am up to 2000 books as of October 25th and I am donating the additional books on Wednesday. I made sure the books were the ones that were needed by the school library.
