So last year Christmas, our church proposed that instead of receiving presents, we ask for gifts in the form of donation to World Vision to provide chicken, medicine, and trees to third world countries. This year we are striving to raise money for a local organization Urban Promise which tailor their programs for at-risk youths and train them to be leaders in their community. Horace, Ian and I took some pictures in categories such as: clothing, snacks, arts & crafts, recreation, and school supplies. If you are interested in contributing. :) 
We finally finished our robot and completed the competition this past week. Even though it was a lot of work and pulling out hair it was very satisfying to see the end results. 
This little guy packed in encoders, microphone, line following sensors, and magnet detection.
