Total Cost: $8,750
Org funds used: Our organization mainly fundraises via donuts sales during tailgating and bake sales on
campus.
According to our profits from last year, we raised $1,244.87 and $1,051.89 from donuts sales and bake
sales respectively.
Detailed Description of Request: The purpose of this funding request is to help subsidize the costs of
registration costs ($650 per person) and plane tickets –costs can range from $250 to $700; as of October
21, 2013, plane tickets from Lexington to San Pedro Sula cost $492.
Registration costs include: airport pickup and drop-off, orientation, lodging, meals, purified water, 24/7
staff support, in-country transportation, construction supplies and tools, and translators.
Thus, the final cost per person would cost approximately $1142. Based on the SGA grant Students
Helping Honduras received last semester ($166.66 per person), the funding helped reduce each
individual cost by approximately 15%.

Event/Project: Cats for Cardinal Hill
Location: Cardinal Hill Rehabilitation Center
Date: Every second Thursday of the month starting November 14
Time: Every second Thursday of the month from 6-7 PM
Purpose of Event/Project: Our hope is to develop an interactive music program comprised mainly of
“sing-a-longs” or drumming circles in a rehabilitation center in Lexington. The music would either be
taught by ear or by reading sheet music with large print. The program would rely on volunteers from the
general Lexington community and students from the University of Kentucky to lead, and participate
with, patients in group songs. We would like to attract volunteers who are interested in leadership,
music education, and healthcare. Anyone who enjoys working with people and developing relationships
with patients would also be welcome to get involved. In order to be a success, the program would need
people who can read music and play the piano and people with experience coordinating and inspiring
large groups.
Many hospitals and rehabilitation centers have volunteer music programs centered on musical
performances, and less of an interactive experience between the patients and the performers. We want
to eliminate the barrier between performer and audience to create a strong community feeling. Our
program will focus on getting patients involved in music (both singing and percussion) in order to create
more engagement and foster relationships between the volunteers and the patients.
Total Cost: $1,230 for the 2013-2014 academic year
Org funds used: Our organization does not currently have any source of funds available for the
implementation of a community service project.
Detailed Description of Request: After conducting much research and speaking with various professors
and community members, our budget is as follows:
$300 for small percussion instruments, such as egg shakers, maracas, bells, hand drums, paddle drums,
etc. (this would be a one-time purchase since these instruments could be reused in subsequent years of
the program)
$100 per month for accompanist fees; therefore, $700 for the rest of the academic year (NovemberMay)
$180-$200 for songbooks; the sing-a-long songbooks we are hoping to purchase are around $18-$20
each and we would like 10 songbooks in all
$30 for a Scotch TL902A Thermal Laminating Machine; we would like to laminate lyric sheets with large
print that can be sanitized and reused
Total Budget:
$300 (instruments) + $700 ($100*7 months for accompanist) + $200 (sing-a-long songbooks) + $30
(laminating machine) = $1230

variety of collaborative, design-related assignments including executing research, attending staff or
client meetings, making site visits, producing drawings and models, and/or selecting materials and
products.”

students have traveled to New York City, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, and even
Amsterdam.

this program. All students, no matter their background and/or financial situation, should be able to have
an opportunity to gain experience and knowledge. It is an invaluable opportunity that can only benefit
their future endeavors.

Time: 5.30 pm to 10.30 pm
Purpose of Event/Project: Diwali, or Deepavali, or "Festival of Lights", is the biggest Indian Hindu festival
that symbolizes the triumph of good over evil.
Historically, the origin of Diwali can be traced back to ancient India, when it was probably an important
harvest festival. However, there are various legends pointing to the origin of Diwali or Deepawali.t In
north India, The festival is celebrated to mark the return of Lord Rama to his kingdom of Ayodhya. The
streets through which he returned to his palace were lit with 'diyas' or small earthen lamps. In south
India, according to the legend, it was the day Lord Sri Krishna defeated the demon king Narakasura. Even
to this day, every home in India is illuminated with diyas during Diwali. Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth
and prosperity, is also worshipped during Diwali.
In each legend, myth and story of Deepawali lies the significance of the victory of good over evil. During
Diwali, lights illuminate every corner of India and the scent of incense sticks hangs in the air, mingled
with the sounds of fire-crackers, joy, togetherness and hope.
Diwali celebrations at the University of Kentucky feature cultural performances including songs, dances
from students at UK. Performers from other universities are invited to perform. The event concludes
delicious Indian cuisine. The event is open to all students and families associated with UK, and provide a
medium for creating awareness about Indian culture and promoting cultural exchange on campus.
