Better Project: Fun Gathering, Clothing & Food Driving Day with Friends
Hi neighbors, my name is Lymari Rentas Gonzalez, and I am a Doctoral Student from Walden University, works for Intuit and Duke University Health, and minority business owner who is living in the Bolton Landing - Jasmine Row community.
The Fun Gathering & Cloth Driving Day with Friends is an event as part of my Better Project which I need to organize and record for my Executive Certification for the National of Leadership and Success. The project will consist of a fun community engagement activity with International and well-respected non-for-profits for which I volunteer during this current year 2021. As part of this project, we will have a member of the Board of Girls on the Run Coastal SouthCarolina and volunteers from Charleston Habit for Humanity educating the public of their mission and what they do for our community. As well, our Girls on the Run, are going to have their fall cloth & food drive supporting Charleston Promise Neighborhood. For purpose of the cloth & food drive the following items are needed: (a)New, underwear for ages 3-12 (smaller sizes from 3-5 most needed), (b) School uniforms (ages 5-12) XS Youth, XL or Men’s/Women’s small – Khaki or Navy-blue pants, skirts or shorts and polo shirts solid color as blue, white & red, (c) new or gently used jackets, (d) new or used gently socks. As well for the food drive items needed: (a) cans of beans, soup, corn, or vegetables, (b) canned tuna, (c) bags of rice or beans, (d) peanut butter, and (e ) individual servings of mac & cheese or pasta. In addition to the items mentioned above, interest items will be diapers and detergent.

Reflection- Facebook Community Page -10.27.2021
Good Morning Neighbors,
We appreciate every one of you that we're able to participate in our event this past Saturday! As a reflection, we were striving to educate at least 20 neighbors and we were able to surpass the amount to 24. As well, we collected food and cloth that will impact the lives of at least 10 families. I addition, Girls on the Run and Charleston Habitat for Humanity will love to continue coming to our community with the purpose of educating about the mission of the organization.
Related to the Better Project and the National of Leadership for Success, Executive Certification, the project was approved and certification was passed. In the coming weeks, I will be receiving my last badge for the Society as completion of the whole program and credits to my Doctoral Programs. All this was accomplished by the support of Bolton Landing Community and of course, our neighbors.
Much thanks for all the support and willingness to participate in our event!
