Week of 10/21

This week our group finished out the bulk of our proposal. Everyone put together all of their information into word documents and sent them to Brittany to proof read. Then the information was sent to Kyle to put into the proposal format.
This weekend we took the critiques that we had gotten from class on Friday and made the necessary changes. These tips helped make our proposal look better. We finalized our proposal and got it ready to be submitted to the client on Monday.

Week of 10/14

This week our group met a few times. Each group member had previously been assigned and specific part of the website. We got pictures and information about the foundation from Julia. This information was important because it isn't anything that could be found on the internet. Only these documents we got from Julia had the information we needed.
During our meetings this week we got all of our information together and planned on how we were going to present it in our proposal. This weekend each member of the group was to put their information into a format where it could easily be combined. Everyone sent their work to Kyle so he could combine it in a format that would be suitable to present to our client.

First Group Meeting

On Wednesday 10/10/07 we met in class, and came up with ideas for approaching the project. We decided to divide the research into four sections. I have to find information on schools in Haiti. Brittany, and Rachael are finding information about Haiti's history. Jay is going to find out information about how life was in Haiti in the past. Kyle is going to find out information on how life is in Haiti today.

We also came up with an idea about what our title page would look like. We were thinking we could use some of the students artwork to make it look more attractive. We also thought about some of the links we might need. We came up with these links; adopt a child, our mission, staff, contact information, history of Haiti, and life in Haiti now.

Week of 9/30

This week we continued brainstorming and further discussed meeting times. This coming week we are going to meet to put together all the information we have come up with. We are going to put together a plan for organizing all of our information and start putting similar subjects together.
We have not gotten any pictures of the school building or any pictures of the work the children have done. We plan on getting some of these pictures to put on the website. These pictures will help potential donors understand what their money is going towards.
