NHS Individual Project 2012: Agusuhin Elementary Bball Court Update

It's been a while since my last post regarding my NHS project, but it's second semester, and I must be persistent in accomplishing this huge project! Anyways, here it goes...

At this point in time, NHS has not raised enough money to fund our projects. However, my project will not need as much funding as last year since the materials have mostly been paid for and were stored at the Agusuhin Elementary School. Hopefully, by the last week of February, arrangements have been made, and supplies will be ready, so that we may finish cementing the floor of the basketball court.

The following are my goals before Mid-February:

1. Make sure the supplies (cement bags, gravel, sand) are all still usable in Agusuhin.
2. If more supplies are needed, raise the funds for it. (Fund raising activities, slushie selling, bakesales, etc.)
3. Purchase the materials needed
4. Gather volunteers + NHS to go there by the last week of February to finish cementing.
5.*Optional: Go there again in the succeeding weekend to paint the lines on the court, and to polish the job.

After the court is completely finished, I can probably bring some volunteers + NHS there again for some basketball pick up games, and to teach the younger kids the fundamentals of the sport.
