Abstract, Summary, or Creative Statement
This semester, we focused our project on the non-profit organization Cards2Warriors, who aim to deliver countless cards in the form of “Happy mail” to illness warriors, their families, caregivers, and medical professionals in order to spread kindness and love in times of darkness. Through hosting our own community service events in UCF's LEAD Scholars Lounge, we've been able to add over 100 cards to the 44,152 cards that have already been sent out to this day by the amazing organization! Throughout our time working together as a group, we have learned the true meaning of making a good impact on not only our community but the rest of the world. With hard work, time management, collaboration, and communication, we have been able to make our project as successful as we've hoped!
