SUMMARY
Reflection
I learned the importance of doing the little things. Simply going through your old belongings and choosing to donate them can go a long way and impact many people. In my case, the books that I collected will touch numerous students' lives and help foster a love of reading that is critical for the growth of intellectual curiosity.
Project Impact
This project raised dozens of books (with reading levels from preschool to young adult) for 4 different church programs that serve students from a variety of local Chapel Hill elementary and middle schools.
