Independent Component 2 Approval

1.  Describe in detail what you plan to do for your 30 hours.

• For my 30 hours, I plan on hosting a towel drive, with the help of another iPoly student. The towel drive was suggested to me by my first mentor, Elana Blum. It's, as the name says, a way to get towels (used or new) from people from iPoly and outside for the animals at the Pasadena Humane Society. Aside from towels, I may ask for blankets as well, since the cats and dogs don't have beds. It's our goal to make the environment as comfortable as possible for them, since being caged up in a strange place is stressful as it is.
  

2.  Discuss how or what you will do to meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence.

• To meet the expectation of showing 30 hours of evidence, as mentioned above, I will be collecting towels (and blankets) from people by going around during the week and making announcements. This may only be twice a week (Mondays & Wednesdays), and on Fridays, I'll make my rounds to collect them. I believe I'll make a chart (independent 2 log) and log in how many towels I get per week.

3.  And explain how what you will be doing will help you explore your topic in more depth.

• What I'm doing will help me get the word out of what's going on in the shelter, and how because of our economy plus the overpopulation of shelter animals, we aren't able to provide even the simplest things for these animals. Sure, the shelter's focused solely on the more important things (vaccinations, medicines, etc.), but what about the rest? Chew toys? Food? A bed to sleep on? The slightest way our peers can help is by donations. Or even better? Adopting. Which all ties into my essential question of how a potential pet owner can best prepare for a shelter adoption. Definitely being up to date and knowledgeable about what's going on is a start.
  

4.  Post a log on the right hand side of your blog near your other logs and call it the independent component 2 log.

• Done.
