Service Learning Project Observation Report

My service learning project was Carestream Charity, this non profit organization group brings together hairstylist and volunteers throughout the Vegas Valley and provides many different services to the less fortunate. (February 21 2017 total of 8 hours) One of the events I was able to attend was haircuts for K-12 age students that are either homeless or are living in a shelter. This event provided haircut for over 500 students in the Valley that is a massive amount of children that are either living on the streets or in a facility for homeless families.
I am a licensed hairstylist but I did not cut hair at this event rather helped prepare necessary stylists with needed supplies, gathered donated hygiene products, put together bags and handed out supplies to children. I also was able to attend a silent auction at The Space, February 23 2017 total of 5 hours) This event was benefitting Carestream’s own airstream trailer that is in the processes of being completed and will soon serve the homeless adults, veterans and children in the valley with haircuts, shaves and other supplies. Along with the event I was able to write personal thank you letters to each recipient for their donations for this great cause. This event alone was able to raise over $10,000 for repairs
One of the biggest events is during prom. Dresses, shoes, haircuts, and styles are provided free of charge for students who can not afford these things to attend prom. I have no suggestions for this non-profit, I believe that Julie is providing a service for that many people take for ranted and she has put smiles on many men. Women and children's faces that would rather not be smiling. I learned that there are far more children of all ages that are homeless then I had ever imagined and how grateful these children are to receive simple hygiene products and haircuts. I will continue to help in anyway I am able and encourage others as
