Helping HandsBy: Haley Barritt

Introduction

• Group that grows our own crops • Ship food to support people in need• Deliver a 6 month supply of food per family in Africa• Single building on a large plot of land• Hold local events where people can contribute• We’ve come across a few problems with spacing• We could use the help and donations

Situation

• Some don’t feel comfortable sharing info at events (privacy)• Few part time volunteers don’t have enough space to do

their job (cramped) – looking for pay and expansion/growth• Not enough space to operate/move machinery equipment• We need to raise more awareness • Bring in donators to a place fit for our needs

Actions

• Create a personal office for every worker – privacy, cost ($1,000/office)

• Create one large office for every two workers – privacy, cheaper ($1,200/2 offices)

• Knock out the walls of existing offices to make rooms larger – save money (not having to purchase as much new), additions

• Create a large 50x50 ft. room for machinery equipment – maneuverability ($2,500)

• Hire 20 more official workers - $7.50/hour• Status Quo – If we don’t receive the funds, we would remain

same and the company may go downhill since expansion did not take place

Recommendations• Knock down the walls to expand office space and use dividers • $1,200/2 offices (10 rooms total – 20 split sections); $2,500

machinery room• Dimensions: Office 25x25x9 ft.; Machinery room 50x50x15 ft.• Walls: Knock out walls; Support beams; Dividers are inserted• Doors: Office door 7x3 ft.; Machinery door 9x5 ft. • Rooms: Create from what we have, then add on to existing building • Paint: 30 gallons of 2-in-1 primer paint; colors are neutral• Will offer more space, privacy, and save money in the long run

Implement• Asking for $14,500 for total cost of rooms; $156,000 total workers/year (paid

every 2 wks.)• $170,500 total funds • If our funds are accepted, we will do the following immediately:

1. Put an ad in the paper2. 50-50 raffle3. Start the building/expansion4. Create a billboard

• These options will create advertisements and produce money• We will send a progress report after 60 days to provide proof of success

(increase of donations and satisfied staff)

Evaluate

• With 2 months of funding, new offices and rooms will:• Improve the sense of privacy• Give workers more space to do their job properly• Allow for machinery to move/function properly• Comfortable space will bring more workers (pay for salaries) • Workers and contributors will be satisfied, bringing in more

contributions

Stories• Now that you know what our company aims to do, we would like to share

a story with you• Jonah, age 5, Ethiopia• Wrote a letter back to us• Even at a young age, his story touched us (adult most likely helped write)• Mom and dad lost in earthquake• Found a week after in the rubble• No food, starving to death• He ended with, “Thank you with all my heart. You saved me.”

Closing

• Let’s help more children like Jonah• Just imagine the smile on their face• A small amount of work can make all the difference for

them• It would greatly benefit the health of the African

population• Thank you for your time
