Community Service 10 day mission trip to help the Mustard Seed Communities in Jamaica. Furthermore, I have over 100 hours of community
service hours for completing my Girl Scout gold award. This award is presented to women that have used their leadership
skills to change and make the community a better place.

Organized a 5k race which raised awareness for Mustard Seed Communities and raised money for diaper containers for
the children who were abandoned, children that have disabilities, children that suffer from HIV/AIDS and teens that are
pregnant and alone. In the end, three hundred people came to the race and I raised a little over five thousand dollars. With
the money raised, I was able to ship a container of one hundred and eighty thousand diapers to the Mustard Seed organiza-
tion in possibly 14 communities, throughout four nations.
