To implement our action plan, we went through a series of steps.  Before completing our goals, we needed to earn a total of $1,200.  To fundraise, we organized a party for Middle School students on Friday, April 11th.  Breadt, Costa, Pepsi and Wilton’s donated products that were sold in the party.  The party’s earnings along with the money requested from Sponsored Run were sufficient to cover the cost of the project.   Along with constructing the groundings, we also wanted to teach the students in the three schools how to remain secure from electrical danger.  In order to teach them we created two lesson plans according to the ages.  These explanations were complemented by visual aids such as posters drawn by us, cables and a kite.  Before constructing we delivered the lessons in Oscar Eduardo Bravo Ratto, Sagrado Corazon de Jesus and Virgen del Carmen.  We had our ups and downs throughout the presentations, but were able to improve our flaws each time. 

          Before constructing our groundings, we decided that we had to witness the construction of one along with workers of the Municipality so that they would learn how to construct a grounding.   They also attended so that the project would be sustainable and once we were done with the construction of our groundings, they could continue the project and install groundings in different locations.  Once this was done, we were ready to construct our own groundings.  We had already done the maintenance in Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, so we only needed to construct in two schools.  First we installed the grounding in Virgen del Carmen and afterwards, in Oscar Eduardo Bravo Ratto.  Finally, we donated an electrometer and a book about groundings to the Municipality so they could continue the project.  Additionally, we linked the Municipality with a grounding company and a contract that said that the company would provide the necessary designs free of charge every time the Municipality required them was signed. To make this project even bigger we decided to make our project public by agreeing on our appearance in the magazine of La Molina and the introduction of our project to the major.
