Action Project

My Action Project for Social Justice 12:

Challenges and obstacles I’ve faced:

Having employees forget to mention the fundraiser

Having customers who are un-interested in buying the cookies

Not selling the cookies and having to throw them out (loss of money)

Accidentally over-cooking the cookies

PERSONAL REFLECTION:

I feel less guilty in a way after completing this project. Learning about all the issues going on in the world and the main injustices in this class I began to feel guilty for doing nothing to help while living my safe and happy life here. After completing this project I feel less guilty, in that, I did do something to help and may have even inspired people to do something, especially since many don’t know about injustices until introduced by others. Lastly, I feel happy that a child who is in a war-torn country and is discouraged from getting an education is passionate enough to. At times it will be hard to continue if you have nothing to work with, so helping so many girls and providing them with something to work with makes me happy.

I will continue to be an advocate for social justice by always donating to any Afghan fundraisers when asked, continuing to educate myself on other issues besides Afghanistan, and most likely re-do my fundraiser sometime for Afghanistan or another place facing injustice.
