Thank you all for devoting your Saturday to volunteer with Berkeley Project. You were all absolutely amazing and we had a great time working with you. Thanks to your efforts, our community received some important services that it never would’ve gotten otherwise, so please know that your efforts were well spent. It’s times like these when we get to get the Suitcase crew together to do some team bonding and just have fun. Thanks again!

Our participation in the Berkeley Project was a tremendous success. Kara, Karandeep, and the SPEAC/SHARE small group all deserve a big hand. Volunteers painted the bathrooms and showers at the Willard site, conducted needs assesments, and painted at the Berkeley Multi-Agency Service Center (MASC) site. Karandeep did a phenomenal job as Site Leader at the MASC site, and we were able to achieve a tremendous amount of work there as a result of his dedication. The teriffic success there and at the Willard Pool under Kara should serve as sufficient evidence to everyone that the SPEAC/SHARE small group is an incredibly productive and viable addition to the Thursday class, one that will certainly endure during subsequent semesters as a result of their achievement.
The amount of planning and preparation these that two UGSIs put into their group project was very inspiring, and will serve as a model for all future iterations of this small group. Congratulations to both of you, and to all of the HMS 98/198 students in your small group! Overall the event ran smoothly, and it was awesome to see the change accomplished by some very motivated volunteers. We also passed out educational information on some of the misconceptions of homelessness and provided the volunteers with links to websites where they could educate themselves. Thank you to everyone who came and helped out.

Small Group
There are 13 people in the small group. This week they are going to talk about putting an agenda together. There will be a half-hours worth of agenda next week. SPEAC members will come to SHARE once in September and twice in October.
Conducting a needs assessment is a possibility for the General clinic. Organizing a film Screening is very doable.
The small group can put on dinners and also can clean-up showers in Willard through the Berkeley Project.
SHARE requires not just one visit but rather a full education campaign.
The dyad will cover ideas for the group project. There will also be an awareness talk.
The Berkeley project (bp.berkeley.edu) may be able to provide funding for SPEAC/SHARE.
SPEAC/SHARE should petition ExComm for allocating funds to SPEAC/SHARE projects.
