Jamie, Hailey and I are currently working on a website for Karishma. We plan to have it up and running sometime in the middle of June. Since it is a lot of work designing a website and keeping in contact with Karishma; we have not done too much. We have been keeping contact with Karishma through email about the website.
Here are some of the emails that have been sent between Jamie, Hailey, Myself and Karishma.
Hi Karishma,
This is Jamie, Athena and Hailey from Mr Robinson’s grade 9 science class.
We were really inspired from the Google Hangout the other day, and think that it is amazing what you have accomplished. We would love to contribute to your project; If you allow us, we plan to design and create a website to advertise your project and raise awareness on the issue.
please contact us back at this email

Thank you for your time
Dear Jamie, Athena and Hailey,
Hope you are well. Thank you so much for reaching out to me, and apologies for the delay in replying. I was off contact this weekend, and I just got back a few hours ago.
I am so glad you enjoyed the hangout! It was wonderful speaking with all of you and truly motivating to see that you’re interested in saving the world! 🙂 I would absolutely love to have you on board and part of the team. It’s great that you want to create the website.
Perhaps we could continue conversing over email, and share some ideas and designs for the website?
Let me know if that works for you!
Super excited to work with you and thank you so much for your dedication and involvement.
Karishma Bhagani
Dear Karishma,
Thanks for getting back to us,we are glad to have the opportunity to work with you, and excited to see what we can create with and for you.
Our plan is to start the website design and run the details past you as we go. We would love for your opinion and specific requests so we can make this website the best it can be.
Some things we plan to have on the website are, a biography or back ground information of you and your journey of your purifier, a space for donations, and pictures of the purifier and others you think might be beneficial to have on the page.
We would like to give you access to the website as it is being made but we are not sure how that is going to work at this point. When we start building it we will let you know so we can figure out ways for you to get involved in the site making process.
If you have any suggestions or questions we would love to hear them
We cant wait till we start the creation, thanks for your time.
Dear Hailey,
Hope you are well.
Thank you for your prompt response. There are many ideas that we have, and I’m sure you have a couple at your end too. Perhaps we could start small and then as we go, we could incorporate other ideas. I would suggest using an online website creator, such as Wix or Weebly, unless you’d be interested in making the website using code from scratch. This might be more of a challenge but I would be open to it.
For now, the ideas for the pages you have are great – that sounds perfect. Maybe you could start off by creating a general design/aesthetic theme for the website and then we could go from there?
Also, our logo came out today, so I would love to have that on the site too. I’ll be sending out an email to all the schools that are involved with more info this weekend, and so stay tuned!
Thank you again for all your hard work.
Hi Karishma,
Today we plan to start our layout using a website called Wix; We will start with a basic design and then send you what it looks like.
Should we use your email to setup or create a new one? Do you have any suggestions for a password? We will come up with a simple and secure one if you do not have one.
Thank you so much,
Jamie, Hailey, and Athena
Dear Ladies,
Hope you are well. Thank you so much for your email and for updating me on the progress of the website. You could use our email address ____________@gmail.com and then feel free to create a simple password of your choice.
We can then change the username and details later on if need be.
Thank you for keeping me updated and I really look forward to seeing the designs. Once they’re ready, we shall set up a time to talk and you could also get some feedback from the rest of the team and work with our artistic director.
Thanks again and hope to speak to you soon!
I have become more aware of parts of the world that don’t have access to some of the things that we do here in Canada. I have become more grateful for water. Water is a small thing to us we turn on the tap and it comes rushing out; but to others around the world clean drinking water is something that they may have never even seen before. They are all used to walking hours on end for dirty water.
Our goals for the future of this project is to get more people aware of this cause, in Canada and possibly the world. We hope that this will turn in to something bigger. We also hope to have a place on the site where people are able to donate to help Karishma. We are just not to sure how to make that work quite yet.
Jamie, Hailey and I will all be uploading updates on how the website is doing and when it is up and running.
