Week #1
This First week I was able to create the website and design in it a way that is easiest for the updates and progress that will occur through our project. The work was divided which decided what our own personal assignments would be. My job is to update our blog, sell the product made by my partner, and to overlook and keep up with our Twitter Account and Instagram.
We chose to donate money to this organization because we assumed that it would be easier to do and it would make a bigger difference to the people that I know I could connect to. This organization would pay for people to get help and, from personal experience, it isn't always easy. For myself I had to go through therapy in middle school because I wasn't the happiest child, and I absolutely hated it. It took me months to finally be comfortable enough to actually talk to my therapist and I was forced to go. I can imagine someone in the complete opposite situation, where they want to go but cant afford it and it truly breaks my heart. I want to make sure that any and everyone can get help, and this organization would really help.

Week#2
This week was another week of planning what we would make and bake to sell. In order to raise money, it was decided that baked goods would have a high selling rate, which is why we chose it. Angelina and I decided on Pies, Cookies, Brownies and Butter Mochi. In order to successfully bake, we would need to buy the ingredients. being a border, it would not be possible or reasonable to put me in charge of the baking. Because of that I gave Angelina money to put towards our supplies and plan the baking for the next week.
I wasn't able to give and donate as much money as Angelina was toward the project, but I felt that I was able to contribute on the digital and sales side of this project. Where one person couldn't fill the other was able to pick up and move along. Through this week we weren't able to really talk after school or out of school because we were busy with our work and after school affairs. I was going around just trying to tell people and get the word out about our project. I was able to go through social media and begin the posts and updates to see how people would react.

Week #3
Our first successful week of bake sales! We sold brownies and butter mochi to raise about $100 after only two days. For this project I continued to update and document the process of our project on social media accounts. Though it isn't easy to gain followers in a single week, I was able to gain at least 5 per account. I do nearly daily updates to let people know what is happening and to hopefully spread the word.
I spent most of my time updating the twitter account and being more active. I was also able to have people message me to both promote themselves and ask questions about my own project. I was a great experience to talk to people and see what other projects are happening around the world. It was good to see the different topics and ideas that people had to really expand their horizons and views on certain subjects.

Week #4
On the first day I was able to go around and sell more brownies, but Angelina fell sick leaving me nothing else to sell for the rest of the week. I continued to update our social media accounts and create the brochures for our up coming presentation. It was during this time that I really worked on our Twitter to make sure that everyone was able to be updated and up to par. I worked hard on choosing pictures and posts that wouldn't share too much or look to distracting.
Also during this week we were able to make the most on our profits and baked goods. We were able to get the word up to the upper campus kids and were able to sell to them. I knew a couple of my friends and had connections through the dorms, which really helped to expand my sale range. When I finally ran out of food to sell each day, I still had people asking what I had left and what I could sell to them, which really boosted my confidence in getting out there to sell things.

Week #5
My partner fell sick so I wasn't able to go out and sell anymore baked goods. With a profit of around $100 I am pretty proud of our progress. Our hope is to sell more baked goods in the upcoming week, but we have to see how that works out. We donʻt have any or many pictures of our progress, but we will get them up soon. I havenʻt updated our social media accounts recently, but plan to soon. We havenʻt really gotten into contact with the organization, but will make the effort in the next week when we plan to make our donation.
I was able to finally find their contact information and draft up an email to get the approval and just to get in contact to see if we could do more. I haven't sent the email out yet because I didn't want to send out a rough draft before we were ready to submit and donate any money.

Week #6
As this project comes to a close I have to say that I did work hard. I managed to run social media accounts, though they did not get much publicity and I basically gave up on the Instagram. The twitter account has gained followers and people interested in the project, but not quite interested in donating money, but the word is out there. I am considering continuing the project onward after the ending of school, but that again is an option for later in life. As we finish up we need to fix our power point and pamphlet that will be worked on. I still need to collect pictures and data about our sales and production.
As we finish up production and sales, we plan to have our last day on Friday. I plan to get the word out about our last day of brownie sales. I will make sure to inform everyone so that it could be a sort of reward if they buy it the day after our culminating event for school.Sales strategies are highly important in this world.
