Trennon worked hard and advanced very quickly and within a few years he was ready to choose his ‘Eagle’ project. We wanted his project to be something of meaning and something that would help others. Our family has been blessed with a sweet spirit sent from Heavenly Father…his name is CJ Udall. CJ was born with Down Syndrome and is Trennon’s cousin. After talking with CJ’s Mom…Trennon learned there was a special need to provide ‘Sensory Tables’ to families who have been blessed with these special children. Trennon took on this project with great passion and conviction. Trennon not only wanted to help a few families but many. He choose to build 20 (Twenty) of these ‘Sensory Tables’ which help Down Syndrome Children learn by applying their senses of taste, touch, smell etc. The Tables are filled with various items such as Rice, Beans, Water, and other products. Trennon directed his friends and colleagues and built the 20 tables. He then presented them at the annual ‘Buddy Walk’ held in downtown Tempe by the Down Syndrome Network. The ‘Sensory Tables’ were then given to 20 families who would benefit from the use of these tables. Trennon then went one step further and also raised $750 in monetary donations that went directly to the Down Syndrome Network to help with research and development of this genetic disorder.
For those who would like to see Trennon's FULL version of his Eagle Project here it is.
