This Gobi Bear Project was the first group project which I have attended so far. Most of our Mongolian classmates have gathered together for this project to happen. Mr. Ramar (our CAS advisor) and Ms. Silverberg were great support for us in terms of organizing meetings and coming up with ideas. The goal of this project was to make real movements to alert people about the lowering population of Gobi Bears and make steps to save Gobi Bears. I was not fully involved with the planning process. The team leader of this project is Temuulen Hartwig. She had came up with the plan therefore wanted followers, including me, to go along with the plan. However I have never seen the plan so far.
So far we had two meetings. The first meeting took place at the public school we are working with. However I could not attend the meeting due to the emergency meeting of National Honor Society members. I have heard that my team members had fun meeting the other group that we will be working with. For the second meeting, the other team came over to ISU. Around 25 students with their advising teacher came over to have a small trip around ISU campus and also to make posters. As we have planned, I prepared sandwiches for the guests. When they came we tried our best to make them feel as comfortable as possible. I think I did well. I was happy to work with children, who were from different environment. When we were working to make posters alerting people to save Gobi Bears, we got to know each other more.
I am looking forward for the next meeting. However I would like to see the plan as well, so that we (as a group) can settle everything beforehand.
