Lucky Ladybug Project

During my spring semester a group of people had come into my classroom asking for pens to donate to a group called PECK. PECK gathers these pens to give to students in Kenya, as in Kenya a child can not attend school unless they bring a pen for the day. The members of PECK make a trip every year and every other year they bring supplies for the students they visit.

I’ve decided to lend a helping hand by creating a new fundraiser. As stated above I’m calling it my Lucky Ladybug Project. I’m crocheting one hundred ladybugs to be sold on Etsy.com to raise money to buy pens and notebooks for this group.

A few people have expressed interest in watching me “grow” as the “crazy little dreamer is at it again.” So I will update about fundraisers and any other community activities I do though out the year(s) in this blog.

Lucky Ladybug Project Plan

1. Crochet 35 ladybugs

2. Put the first 10 up on etsy to figure out shipping cost, how much goes to paypal, and etsy, etc., as well as creating a place in the forum to talk about projects like this one

3. Create the next 35 as the first 10-35 sell

4. See if local small shops will sell a few

5. Finish creating the remaining 30 ladybugs by whichever method works best and calculate how many notebooks and pens I can get with the money raised

To all those reading I remind you once again, that I am only one person, but one person can make a huge difference. I hope others will join me in this project but until that time I’ll keep working knowing I can make a difference in this world.

At this time, I’d like to give thanks to Joanna Masingila for giving me information that allowed me to set up this project for PECK.
