Progress+Report

3.13.09 1. On my prjocet I have decided on what I want to do and am in the process of contacting the right people to get things going. I have decided on doing the Big brothers and Big sisters program. I was going to do some type of fundraising and the more I thought about it decided not to only because that was taking the easy way out and would like to experience something different. 2. -I have to read my sources and find the information that is going to be helpful in writing my paper. - For my project I am going to look at another option that might have more meaning to it. - I need to start drafting in a week or so and get all the input I can before the final paper is due. Make sure my sources and information is backing up my thesis. 3. I have been talking to a doctor and he is an expert on HSP and he emailed me a lot of information and is being very helpful. He keeps me updated on anything new that might be happening towards research with HSP. He has been a great help. I also have been talking with my parents who both know a lot about HSP and they give me ideas for projects and also my mom has given me sources that she has, which are helpful.

4.8.09 for my project i am still deciding wheather I am going to do the big brother big sister program or do this new idea of making a webiste. with this website i could hopefully get it to my topic expert and he could send it around to some of his patients that he see and other doctors. this website will let people share there stories and how they deal with HSP on a daily basis.
