Our first community service project involved helping Ronald McDonald House of Ann Arbor, which helps families of children who are receiving treatment for extended period at the MOTT's Children's hospital. The house is always in need of travel size toiletries for their crisis center, which involves families that have had unexpected illnesses in their family involving kids and had to come to the hospital without anything.

4. What we did We broke up into two groups with Tanisha and Souvik being our leaders. Souvik’s group packed toiletries while Tanisha’s group baked cookies and muffins. The particapants were Tanisha, Isha, Nisha, Ipsy, Praneeth, Sumer, Arnav, Ashna, Dona, Souvik, Neha, Diya, Stuti, Sormi, Riju, and Ankan.

5. Our Thoughts……. “A small step can do a lot towards a bigger difference” Shibangi “This is important even when you’re older, you should always help people” Nisha “Chocolates helps the happy side of your brain” Isha “It’s important to help people to spread happiness " Arnav

6. Our Thoughts……. “Through community service, kid’s are given the chance to come together & work for the common good. A few hours here & there help bring a smile to those in need. More importantly, the satisfaction that comes along with such small actions provide a memorable life-time experience. Throughout school years teachers stress that “Helping others means helping yourself” & it’s especially fun when doing it with friends” Tanisha “It’s always RIGHT to help those in need!” Sumer
