Mission:
We have been working on a project to donate money to Ryan's Well. Ryans's Well is an organization that makes wells around Africa (Link to Ryan's Well http://www.ryanswell.ca/)

Introduction:
The Ryan's Well foundation's **Youth in Action Program** is a creative and innovative global learning program designed to engage and educate students about the importance of clean water for all and encourage them to become active, responsible citizens of the world. Ryan's Well Foundation has built **329 Wells** and supported sanitation, health and hygiene services in **14 countries** around the world. **491,625 people** have access to clean water as a result of the kindness of others. There is still much more work to do! You can make an impact and difference by visiting our Projects Needing Help, and then take action. The Ryan's Well Foundation has made a difference in the lives of more than **491,625 people** in developing countries. But there are still so many more people in need of clean water. You too can help make Ryan's dream of " clean water for all" a reality by getting involved. Our goal is to give 2,000 RMB to Ryan's Well. How will we make money?



The Issue We Acted On:
The Issue we acted on was how People should have acces to safe and drinking water. You see, every Human on the Earth should have access to Safe Drinking Water and Useable Water so that they can live. But not all Humans have this access, some of them have problems with it such as Water Pollution. We are trying to solve this Issue by donating Money to an Organization called Ryan's Well who will build Wells for those People in Africa who don't have access to drinking water and help solve the issue we are acting on.

Why is it Important?
We believe it is important because we don't want to have people digging or having funerals for people who died from water shortage. We want the world to be a better place to all, and one way for this to happen is by giving people everywhere the acess to drinking water and useable water. Although we aren't really doing it big. We are at least contributing with others as well and if we all contribute. We can indeed create a big diference to the World. That is why we believe that this Issue is really important.

Action Plan:
Our Action Plan is to Donate 2,000 RMB to Ryan's Well. We are going to achieve this by having a Disco (or Dance in the American Term), Games (Generally Sports such as Basketball), and we shall have many more Ideas soon...

Goals for our Action Plan:
Our Goals is to raise 2,000 RMB and donate it to Ryan's Well.

Results of our Grand Action Plan:
Well, the Results of our Action Plan wasn't as sucessful as we thought it was. We had a Result of earning less than 2,000 RMB and only 1904RMB to donate to Ryan's Well and we are still trying to host events for our fundraising. Also we haven't send the Money to the Organization yet.

Problems:
We had a lot of problems we encountered on our way to sucess. Here is the List of Problems:
 * We couldn't get any ideas first that would work
 * After the Basketball Game, people didn't pay
 * We made a list of People who didn't pay and Matheus went after them (Or at least he did) and he lost the list during the Holidays.
 * Daniel said he would do all the editing on the Wikispaces but instead he hadn't done any changes for a long time....
 * The three boys Tom, Matheus, and Daniel couldn't stop fighting and arguing with UK Water Conservation Group during the organizing of the Disco
 * The Disco was falling apart at the end, and we had to get someone to save us form being killed.
 * UK Water Conservation Group got more profit than us because they believe they did more work than us.
 * We lost profit on the Snacks because People were or maybe stealing them during the Disco or so...
 * Matheus wasn't back for a long time and we had to work without him.
 * Other Ideas we all had were always diagreed by other people in the group.

That was mainly all the Problems we had with our Project, hopefully next time problems like these wouldn't occur since we have faced these problems before.

Factors that went better than expected:
We earned more money than expected from the Basketball Game because of the kind donation of 100RMB by Mr.Davis (School Principal).

Who contributed what?
Daniel - Edit Wikispaces, Disco Tom - Baskerball Game, Edit Wikispaces Matheus - Basketball Game David - Editor of Wikispaces, Disco

The sucess of our Plan measured by us:
We measured the sucess of our plan by how much money we were earning from the Disco and the Basketball Game to donate to Ryan's Well. Also how much money we used for making the Disco and Basketball Game because these tings don't come without a price.

Data Table of Results:

 * Disco || Ticket Earnings || Money spent on buying Snacks || Money from Snacks Earnings || Total Earnings ||
 * Money || 1950 || 441 || 395 || 2345 ||

Was the Plan sucessful?
Sadly, Not as sucessful as we had hoped for it to be, we only earned 1904RMB.

Was it not sucessful?
Yes, it was not succesful as expected to be, but close.

Changes we should have done to our Action Plan:
There were a lot of changes we would make to our Action Plan, and here's the List:
 * We should have more ideas and done more events.
 * We should not cancel out ideas that we disagree with
 * We should have tracked down the people that didn't pay for the Basketball Game.
 * We should have changed a few parts about organizin the Disco.

Shall we continue?
Yes, we shall continue our project for a better world! Although we may have finished and weren't sucessful with our Project. i think we would to continue this Action Plan and donate to many more organizations for the better of the world. We are currently involved with the BeiGIN and helping in a project called Adopt-A-Village.

Shall the Action Plan still continue?
We agred to scrap this Action Plan and brianstorm another and see how that goes if it is more sucessful than this Action Plan.

What did we learned?
David - I have learned about myself that even though we are only doing something small in the World, we can make a difference. Tom - I have learned that I can as well change the World. Matheus - I believe that I learned that I am really good at Basketball. Daniel - I learn that hosting a Disco is not as easy as it looks.

What we learned about others?
David - I didn't really learn anything about the others in our group since I already knew all of this would eventually happen. Tom - I learn that I can trust my teamates more often. Matheus - I learn that I can depend on others as others depend on me. Daniel - I learn that I shouldn't be the only editor of the wikispaces and let others edit it as well.

Video of the Disco:
Here there's a video with the photos of the Disco provided by Axel media type="file" key="Disco Photoslide.wmv" width="618" height="618"

The Future of our Project:
After a few weeks of working on this huge project of ours we made a lot of money. We have organized the Disco. We have finished the Basketball Game and now we are closer to completing our Water Project. Matheus and Tom are already planing the date of the volley ball game which is going to be the last game between students and teachers and our project will be actually finished with our project to raise money for the Ryan's Well. We also plan to support and join the BeiGIN and help them with one of their projects called Adopt-A-Village.
