The group presented on their project for Sickle Cell Ministries. Their goals were to raise awareness of sickle cell anemia, host a fundraiser to raise money, and distribute informational flyers. They held a fundraiser that raised $188.19, kept 10% for expenses, and continued sharing information on campus. Though conflict can arise in groups, they worked well together, accomplished their goals of spreading awareness and fundraising, and learned effective communication skills.

clear and as meaningful as possible.
