Define: All around the world, children, adults and families live in poverty. Approximately 1.3 billion people live in conditions of extreme poverty today. This is a big problem in our society. Many people around the world do not have access to the amenities and objects that we take for granted. It’s sad to think that there are children in our world that do not have access to a tooth brush or even a trusty pair of socks. Yes, there are organizations out there, already working on helping people who live in poverty, but the thing that makes us unique, is that we are children taking a stand and making it our mission to help other kids living in poverty. They say that children are the future, let’s help make the future bright an help the children of our world.
Dream: Our plan is to make a package, full of necessities like canned food, small clothing items, toiletries, etc. We are going to start off by creating one packages for one child and send it to a girl in Columbia. Once we know that our package was successfully created and sent, we will start to take our idea further and hopefully create many more packages for children in need, around the world.
Deliver: We are planning on placing all the items that we collected for the package and place them in a box to keep the items safe and unharmed. Then, we are hoping that the package will get hand-delivered to the child that we are giving the package to. We will not be there to deliver it, but we will be there in spirit and we will hope that she will like the package!
Debrief: We are proud that we have been able to think of an idea of how we could help our planet and actually create it! From the beginning, we wanted to fundraise to raise money for the packages and create several packages to give to several kids. Yet, due to our lack of time to fundraise and the amount of money that it would cost to create several packages without being able to fundraise, we decided to start with one package and go from there. I believe that all of us would’ve liked to send more packages then to just one, but we know that if we keep our dream alive and work hard to reach our goal, it will be some day possible. This project has really inspired all of us in our group to help others in our world. No matter how old or how far away you are, there is nothing stopping you from helping others.
