contribution to the community. The project should
have a direct relationship to the organization's
purposes and to Health Science Education. Activities
are then planned to make the community aware of
the health issue. The chapter documents each
activity as it is planned and conducted. When the
project is completed, the chapter develops a
portfolio that documents and explains the project
and activities. The chapter will also develop a
