SEE it: What is the mission of your project? What has inspired you to envision and implement it?: 
My mission is to help raise money for the Oklahoma School For The Blind to purchase new textbooks. They currently need $700,000 to get the materials. They're oldest book is from 1982 and the newest is from 2001.
ACT upon it: What does your project do? What action does it take to accomplish its mission? Who does it involve?: 
This project will help better the education of these visually impaired children, because they deserve just as much materials as a "normal" child. I will have to find sponsors and fundraise to accomplish this goal.
INSPIRE from it: What has your project accomplished? Where do you see it going in the future? How can others get involved?: 
People can donate large print and/or Braille books.
