Ep 28 Jasmine Bartell "Journey to Success" Clothes closet for impoverished women - Girl Scout Gold Award Project

Find our blog and more resources at http://heartsofgoldpodcast.com/ Jasmine shares her experience creating a clothes closet at her school to empower women of domestic violence and low income. More from Jasmine: My name is Jasmine Bartell and I have been a Girl Scout for approximately nine years. My Girl Scout involvement has helped me tremendously.  Throughout my years of being in Girl Scouts, I have participated in camping, community service, and leadership experiences. In 2013, I attended camping at Rock Ranch and there I learned how to do the following: cook on a Camp stove, make s'mores over a campfire, and proper usage of a mess kit and mesh bag. I also attended Cabin Camping with my troop (Troop 6099) which was a wonderful experience because we did fun activities such as play games and split up into different teams. Each team had a job, whether it was cleaning up or preparing food. In addition, I have participated in several community service events with my troop. At one of our Girl Scout meetings, we made Kindness Rocks for anyone going through rough times and reminding them that they are strong and can overcome anything. We made cards for foster kids during the holidays and gave out care packages to hospital patients. One Sunday, I organized a breakfast with my troop for the people who attended West Metro Church. In the summer of 2014, I helped plant trees with the community in Atlanta. Furthermore, I have contributed to many cookie booths. I learned how to be a good salesperson and how to market. During September 2014, I earned and completed my Silver Award. I built an alternative trail for bikers who wanted to explore more of the Silver Comet Trail that runs through Hiram, Georgia. During the process of my Gold Award project, I learned that I am capable of being a leader and one step closer to having my own business someday.
