Current Update (Business Aspect) (Entry #17)

Things I've done:

• make poster to advertise about the sale during the run
• create a google form so people can pre-order hotdogs
• easier for me to estimate demand
• create a handbook/guide for schools to sign up for the run
• planned ways to advertise
• Facebook group/page
• attach to website
• school announcements 
• permission form 
• order t-shirts 
• CanCham (The Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong) - Newsletter
• how to keep track of who ordered hotdogs during the event: stamps

Things I need to do next:

• Brainstorm
• how many volunteers needed and what their roles are
• how to collect money
• number of hotdogs
• Contact
• supplier for hotdogs - RCHK
• Research
• contents of business report 
• this is to help the people organizing hotdogs in next year's event

Global Context (Entry #16)

After thinking through my personal, I finally finalised my global context - Identities and Relationships

• I feel that I have a really strong connection to the project as ultimately, the goal of my project is to aid the Terry Fox Run and raise money for them - by selling hotdogs
• all the money raised from the run will be donated to purchase new technology for cancer patients (to analyze circulating tumour cells, ultimately improving care for cancer patients) - I have a very strong connection to this topic since I lost a young cousin due to cancer
• I value giving back, that kindness is extremely important
• Wrote essays and poems about this topic in grade 9
• UNICEF Club executive 

Meeting with Mr. Paetzold (Entry #15)

During the short meeting I, along with Ms. Nobert and Nicole had with the personal project coordinator and school - Mr. Paetzold, we discussed a lot of important aspects of the project and clarified any confusions we had.

• most importantly, I got my topic approved, it's appropriately challenging
• the global context and why my project is interesting and meaningful for me
• discussed weather or not I will have enough time after the event (as it is in November), we decided that I will have enough time to complete the report as long as I have good time management 
• next steps (starting on both the personal project and business report)
