Jaime and Brenda C. Capstone. Animal Companions

Our Capstone idea is to fund-raise and volunteer at the Houston SPCA. Our purpose is to create awareness about the countless mistreated animals or homeless animals that are sheltered in the Houston Humane Society (H.H.S)
To create awareness that if animals are not found a home they are placed on the verge of being put down.

You could also bring caned or bagged dog food to either Jaime Sandoval or Brenda Cruz so we could donate them to the Houston Humane Society. Thank you.

Green House Awareness

My capstone project is to bring the awareness of the green house gases. By doing so, I plan on expanding the green house project from last years idea and expand a small throughout the school.  A way to fundraise is to have a lemonade stand the day of the project. I also plan to show the difference of the before and after pictures to makethe school more brighter and more color to an international college bound school.

Colon Cancer Dinner Explanation

In our capstone project we will be fundraising money for a non-profit colon cancer organization. We will do a dinner in our school cafeteria and charge money and all the profits will go to the organization. We will have a sponsor but most likely the sponsor wont be able to cover all expenses, so whatever money we earn after expenses will go to the non-profit organization.

World Cup Explanation

In the "World Cup" tournament, there will be 18 teams that will enter in it. Every team that registers for the tournament will represent a country that that has the international problem of underprivledged children that need help. At the end of the tournament, the country that is the champion of the tournament, that will be the country that will have the money that was raised donated to that country.

Capstone

I came up with the idea for the world cup when i was thinking about how soccer is an international sport in itself but i wanted to somehow make it possible for us to use the game of soccer to make a change in the world. Then i realized that i could make it possible, by making an indoor soccer tournament that will let the players competing in it to play for something more than themselves.

And So It Begins (:

My Capstone project is water perservation and awareness. I came up with this topic in a very unusual way, i was sitting in class with possible topics running through my head. I reached in my backpack and pulled out a water bottle and it came to me, "what if i do my project on water?" With that epiphany like event, ideas, solutions, relevance and all came to me. I told Ms. Adams of my topic and began my research, shortly i found an organization called Living Water and began to go through their website. The website inspired me stick with water perservation. My next blog will go into further detail of my progress.
