29-Day Giving Challenge

29 Gifts Challenge for Teens!! -- Download the ebook for free!

Hello! I'm Gianna Jasinski and I'm new to the site! I'm 13 yrs. old and I love to swim and play the piano. I'm in the 8th gr. and working on a project called "29 day challenge for kids". In the program I'm in we are required to complete an Independant Investigation (II), which requires you to come up with an idea that meets some need. When I came across Cami's interview on NBC in the fall, I was truly inspired and thought I could do a 29 Day Challenge for Kids! I thought it was a great idea and began my journey! I contacted 3 schools, which totaled over 100 kids, and invited them to take the challenge. I made daily logs for them and asked them to complete some reflection ques. after the challenge. For the ones, who have finished the challenge, they have found a great impact. One girl says she is now more tolerant of people and more open-minded. Some kids claim it was a "wake-up call to other people and your surroundings". Others say "It's like picking people off their feet". They've found they're now focusing more on others and reaching out to people. I have finally finished my book and I hope many will read it! So, check it out (it is attached below) and I hope you will enjoy reading the powerful journeys of giving! Thanks so much!!

-Gianna

This is a beautiful & inspiring piece of work!! I read the whole thing & loved it. I found a few minor typographical errors. Let me know if you'd like me to send them to you. (For some reason, my eyes just pick up these things, even when I'm not looking for them!) They certainly don't detract from your amazing project!
This is such a great project. I just may have to tell the elementary, junior and senior high schools I went to about it.

Can't wait to see your results!
That'd be great if you could tell them about it!
Thank you so much Kasey! You should definitley spread this project to your friends and tell them to check out the website! And you should definitley take the challenge, it totally changes your life!! You should also become a member of the website, it's basically like facebook, if you have one. Thanks, again for your comment, and I'll keep you updated!

Hi gianna. I'm looking forward to seeing your book and publishing it here on the site when you have it done. Thanks for helping bring the challenge to other young people.
Thank you Cami! And thank you for making me aware of the challenge and inspiring me to do the project!
Keep up the good work Gianna!
Wow! What an awesome project! Good luck with everything! :)
Thank you!
Gianna,
This is great. You will find with your endeavor to unite others in a common cause, uncommon results will occur. To learn this at a young age is a gift. I look forward to keeping up with your discussion.
