For his project, Saahil planned four phases. The first phase involved prep activity, where he led scouts to create door hangers, an Amazon wish list, and a script. During the second phase, he led 16 scouts and 5 adults in distributing 800 door hangers to the community (targeting Gale Ranch and Windermere neighborhoods), with scouts knocking on doors and delivering pitches to neighbors.
During the third phase, he sorted over 140 items, including medical supplies, educational materials, and books, into U-Haul boxes. Following this, he meticulously shrink-wrapped each box, ensuring the contents were securely enclosed. This preparation guaranteed safe and organized shipping of the goods.
In the fourth phase, he led fundraising efforts: using a gofundme, securing over $900 to cover shipping, door hangers, and packaging supplies for the project’s execution. His leadership ensured financial support for the essential components of the initiative.
The main challenge was to complete the project before April 18th since the shipping company (AmeZam) only collects goods for the orphanage twice a year. Meeting this deadline was crucial to ensure timely delivery of the items to those in need, and was overall successful in getting those in need important resources.
