Time: 9 h
Type of activity: writing an application for the grant for the AI school Group
The Leszek Podkański Foundation works in collaboration with our school. As there is a program of school clubs developing, the foundation offered the 10,000 zl grant for the best plan of charity action. That would be later carried out by the members of the club, in particular for children from poorer families near Lublin as this is the main interest of the foundation in general.
Me and and my classmates Mateusz Kusio, Olga Osuchowska, Joanna Sztandera, and Joanna Wośkowska, worked on preparing the project for two days. I played quite an important role of noting any suggestions and sending effects of our work to AI group supervisors, Mrs Katarzyna Olejnik, Mr Tomasz Kalbarczyk, and Mr Maciej Kiwała who shared their concerns and ideas for changes. These mainly included estimated costs of actions and making the list of aims that had to be the beginning of the document more detailed. The final plan in the grant includes preparing and carrying out the Marathon of Writing Letters, a lecture about human rights for AI school groups in Lublin and any volunteers from our school, preparing a series of workshops for students from primary schools outside Lublin.
I am very proud of the final effect because it was the first such a serious document I worked on largely independently, with minor changes from teachers. I really appreciate the fact that the work, even though took over nine hours, still found all our group involved in writing motivated, not quarrelling and generally facing towards the best version possible without complaining and wordiness. That was a very optimistic message for me, knowing this is possible. There is nothing I would really like to change. The only thing now is to wait for the final decision of the foundation and the Headmaster.
EDIT 24.11.10: all the money we wanted in the project (almost 2,000 zl) was given!
