English Patient Thought 8

The inquiry question is coming along. We have made significant progress in our goal to raise resources for children. We first started out with canned goods, and we actually raised a good amount of food. However our efforts were some what...unfruitful. Because on Sunday I received an email saying that Admiral Seymour Elementary actually wanted lightly used books instead of other resources. However our canned goods did not end up in vain. We donated them to the Wesbrook Center where they actually held a food drive for the UBC food bank. We quickly diverted our attention to used books. We first thought of a plan: most likely, it would be more efficient for us to gather books from people that we somewhat knew. So we targeted our relatives, the student body, and teachers that may have children. We have already gathered about twenty books and the numbers are still rising! We hope to achieve at least 50 books for the young children before this Friday and send a pack of our delegates to the Elementary to deliver the books.
