Last Friday, we met at the Operation Backpack headquarters, and we waited for the operator, Lisa, to arrive. Eventually, we got the tour from Mrs. Richards, and got to hear some of the stories and see some of the backpacks that were in the operation. We saw how they labeled the backpack, and why kids might be embarrassed about having it on their bags. Then Lisa arrived, and we got some of the background on the students and their storied, which was touching. Finally, we pitched some ideas to Lisa and decided that we would create a survey for the children to give details on what they like, and to create better “birthday bags” for the kids in their birthday month. I think that this went well, and from this, we were more clear on what we needed to do to help out the organization.
