Final Post

Well, dear followers, today is the final day of our project. At 11:15 AM, we present to our fellow philanthropists, and then hand our project off to a group of sophomores, who will be continuing our work during Jellis Block. It's been quite a journey, and I think it's safe to say none of us have ever been in a class quite like this. We discovered many of the difficulties of being a philanthropist, which range from the mundane - waiting for an email reply - to the more serious - trying to devise an effective theory of change. Either way, we've learned that philanthropy is more - much more - than merely signing a check. So, this may seem cheesy, but I'd like to end our semester with the following quote from Mother Teresa,

"Let us not be satisfied with just giving money. Money is not enough, money can be got, but they need your hearts to love them. So, spread your love everywhere you go."

Thank you for reading!
