The Inspiration for my Project |
On a few Sundays, I would go with my Grandma to volunteer at an assisted living shelter. I noticed that the common room at the shelter had few games for the residents, very few comfy chairs to relax in, and was poorly lit.
For my Girl Scout Gold Award Project, I was inspired to renovate and add furniture and stimulating games to the common room, as I realized not everyone is fortunate enough to have amazing living conditions, but everyone deserves to have the best conditions possible. The Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest achievement a Girl Scout can earn, in which they complete a community service leadership project which leaves a lasting impact on their community, and the world. |
