Going to the Chapel...

This Wednesday at chapel Dodd Caldwell who works for Rice Bowls came and spoke! I think that it went very well and hopefully everyone enjoyed it! He showed a few pictures of children and told their stories and I hope that those pictures and stories helped everyone to be encouraged to bring in money for Rice Bowls! I leave for Nicaragua this Saturday morning at 5:30 and get to see one of the whole reasons that I chose this project in the first place :) I can't wait! 

Everything's Out!

This is the flyer that I sent home with every student at the school. For K4-5th grade I put them in Thursday folders and for 6th-12th grade I put them in their english classes. 

This week I finished making the Rice Bowls, flyers, and sheets that go with the Rice Bowls. After spray-painting the bowls, gluing rice to the cardboard, and the cardboard to bowls...I had a finished Rice Bowl! Time consuming: slightly! But definitely worth it! I sorted and counted out flyers to go in Thursday folders and to the high school students then passed out the bowls to K4 through 12th grade class rooms. There was never a dull moment in the process but it all got done! It is such a relief to have everything done and now all that is left to do is to keep up the momentum and get everyone to bring in money to fill up the bowls! I'm very excited about seeing how everything goes with doing the project a little bit different this time! 

I made one of these for each classroom so that it could sit with the Rice Bowl in the class and each one has a different child on it from Rice Bowls sponsored orphanages from around the world. 

Looky Here!

Finished Product!

So I have started making the large bowls and they should be done by this weekend and hopefully out to the classrooms late next week :) Here is what they are looking like!!
