November Post

Overall, we haven't encountered any major problems with our project. We had two bread runs, November 6, and November 20. For our first trip, the shop actually ran out of bread when we called them so our run was cancelled for that day. On November 20 though, it ran quite smoothly, we got a bag's worth of bread and easily delivered it to the food bank without any major issue. With this in mind, I feel like this project should be rather smooth in the future without any problem. However, the only concern that I have is that the only dates are on weekends in which we need to come to the bakery at 9 PM and since the food bank is far away, Ricky and I would come home at least after 11 Pm.

More Reflections

So far things are looking fairly stable. Ricky and I have committed ourselves to volunteering for Bread Runs (Working with a food bank), in which we plan on starting up in early or mid-October. Communication is far easier than my group last year, considering that it's just Ricky and me rather than the group of six I was previously in. Not only that but the fact that Ricky and I have already made our decision on what our MAD project would be shows far more progress in little time than I had last year. Of course, we will probably run into problems in the future, but I feel that this project is going to run a lot smoother and better than it did last year.

First Post of the Year

So far this MAD project is definitely going better than last year's. First of all, I have a group on the first meeting, unlike last time. However, it is only Ricky and I in this project, so I will have greater responsibility and more work to do than last year when I had a group of six people. On the bright side though, communication and coordination will be easier as there will be less messaging to do and less schedules to fulfill.
On what our MAD project is going to be, our overall plan has practically been decided as doing bread runs for a food organization. Basically this will involve monthly or weekly trips to bakeries on closing and collecting surplus bread to give to the organization. I am however, a little worried because this is similar to what my group last year failed to do but I think the smaller group size will allow the two of us to be able to do this. If this fails though, we've also located a nursing home for English speaking residents that we'll be able to visit.
