Kind Project Malawi

First, he asks, “how can I improve?” You can always be actively doing something to improve yourself. This may be going out in your community or globally and helping people in any way that you can. You should not let money come between you and what your character could be. Lastly, he says, “those who are given the most, should do the most.” In this quote, he is saying, if someone has more resources given to them, they should use those resources to help others who do not have as many as they need. Investing in people is the most important thing you can do.

Participating in the project made me aware of the things I want to do to help children when I become a Social Worker, and the project renewed my love for service. I would recommend this project to a community because once you realize that your one or two book packs where included in a huge cause, it makes a person actually feel like they made a difference. Just imagine 400 book packs from only 12 of 992 chapters. When I do the math and every 12 chapters bring 400 book packs that’s about 33,066 book packs and about

Firstly, this article inspired me because it shows there any small or big donation will help. For example, if every child in the school (John McCrae)donated at least one dollar or any food, it would be able to save a whole family for a month. This would help a lot because when a natural disaster hits land, many homes and transportation can be destroyed. Sometimes the food they had also gone down with the house so donating something small to make a significant impact. A

The money raised would go to The Great Ormond Street Hospital. We want to allow curiosity within children so they find their own route to learn and develop confidence to discover something new (Bragg and Manchester, 2011). Therefore children will also learn about the benefits of buying fair trade or locally and about ethical decisions and how the choices they make affect farmers elsewhere. The activities are engaging, practical, fun and creative and keep in mind that a future of unexpected change results in ensuring cross-curricular methods encourage group solutions, collaborative learning, creative combinations and independent learning (Barnes, 2015).

In January of 2015, I experienced a mission trip in Guatemala. Although the trip taught me a lot about both myself, and the people and culture of Guatemala, one of the more prominent realizations I had was that the Guatemalan children had so little resources to get a quality education in life, yet they were still eager to learn. For example, each child was required to wear a pair of black dress shoes to school. Since many could not afford to pay for these shoes, they each walked to the missionary compound, no matter how far, to get a free pair of shoes that were offered. Additionally, many of the kids were more inclined to attend a short church lesson after eating dinner than play with their friends. After experiencing this dramatic change

Nothing feels better than giving back to a place that has given so much to people. A majority of the little things that we do day by day are taken for granted or they are just seen as nothing major. In reality there are so many things that are given to us and we do not always see the little things in life as anything of mass importance. For our kindness project we decided that it was time for us to give a little to ensure someone had a smile at the end of the day. We partnered up with the Rho Nu club here on campus and together we made tie blankets. These blankets that we made will be donated to the Sacred Heart hospital in Spokane later this month. We decided to do this project in the hopes of giving a little, but making it count for a lot more. We hoped that the children receiving these blankets always get a smile on their face or simply that they just find comfort in these blankets. In this project I was the leader of the group and I did most of the organization of

I am very impressed with the concept of the Abecedarian Project. I especially admire that its focus is to help those in poverty, who are usually those who are in the greatest need of help in order to break the cycle of poverty. This provides a more holistic approach since not only is it beneficial to the mother as it provides educational games and increases employment opportunity for the mother, but also promotes breaking the cycle of poverty and helping to launch impoverished children out of and over expectations for a disadvantaged community. I also appreciated that the project used play in order to teach, which is often more effective and lasting than “book learning,” especially at such a young age.

We met our main goal of donating three car seats, and we were also able to donate all of the other items that were on our list. In all, they estimated that our donations would be distributed to help at least 35 children in need. Knowing that we had positively affected that many children’s lives was one of the most meaningful parts of this project because that meant that we had “found a solution” which was the point of our

Even though the mother nation builds educational and medical facilities in a colony, they do not take good care of these facilities, causing them to fail. The medical technology would be so poor it would not stop the spreading of diseases. In addition, poor education leads to a poor society, (Effects of Poor-Quality Education) This quote illustrates the negative effect of having poor schools as it highlights that a poor society is a result of poor education. A mother

Education is a key factor to reduce and prevent global poverty. If someone in poverty graduated from college they would have a 86% chance to move up the income ladder. Education is emphasized by Mathabane in the text Kaffir Boy when he states “Education will open doors where none seem to exist” (par.1). Education is an important way to keeps kids off the streets. Going to school and recieving homework gives kids something to do rather then them being on the streets where they could possibly end up joining a gang. Mathabane adds another element to the idea of education by asserting that “An education will get you a decent job. If you can read and write you’ll be better off than those of us who can’t” (pg.11) People who have been educated have more chances of getting a job than those who haven’t. Although education may be an important aspect in order to escape poverty, more may be

Looking around me, I caught a glimpse of an array of different presentations being made by my peers; Dominic was talking about his experience with Guide Dogs for the Blind and Sophia was explaining her feminine hygeine drive for the homeless. For Nina and I’s presentation, we displayed our project: Bows for Paws. With our glittery poster board, we played a slideshow I made that included the pictures I took of all the animals from Berkeley Animal Care Services, along with animal homelessness facts. To each teacher and student who came by, Nina and I enthusiastically introduced ourselves. We began our presentation by explaining what Bows for Paws is about: a non-profit organization that sells cheer bows and donates 100% of the proceeds to local animal shelters in order to raise animal welfare awareness, specifically shedding a light on animal homelessness. Knowing that not many are familiar with exactly what animal welfare was, I briefly educated our listeners on the topic and related it back to our project. Next, Nina and I explained how Bows for Paws benefits animals. With each bow that we sell, a picture of a rescue from Berkeley Animal Care Services when I volunteered there, is sent. This picture shows exactly what each buyer’s money is going towards and bringing awareness to animal homelessness. Once we ship the bows, we donate the money to

305,000 Kiwi kids live in poverty, and KidsCan is only helping a portion of those, but there’s only so much a charity can do, and the work and effort that KidsCan has put out into helping children in poverty so far is astonishing. KidsCan is not only caring for these children in need but is also fundraising and encouraging others to care for these children too, that they shouldn’t have to struggle through poverty on their own, which is

Swaziland is a developing country that is facing many problems which can only be solved through political reform. Swaziland is located in south-eastern Africa and is the last country in Africa to still have an absolute monarchy. This country has a large health problem, including the highest rate of HIV in Africa. Swaziland’s monarch, King Mswati lll, holds all of the power. Swaziland’s economy is stagnant and its economic growth is steadily declining While the king lives a life of luxury, over fifty percent of the population of Swaziland live in poverty. Swaziland is also a landlocked country located in an area in which tropical storms are not uncommon. Swaziland is continuing to struggle as a developing country for these reasons.

When students are involved they get the nutrition and food they need along with the skill sets needed to become employed in the future. The help the children organization adds into this by using a donation program through their website. With the donations they purchase mass amounts of food to deliver to churches, senior citizen faculties, woman shelters, recovery programs, and more. Help the children delivers on average 1.7 million pounds of bulk food each month, making that 35 tons each work day.

In the late 1990’s, Malawi was facing financial hardships due in part to an AIDS epidemic. Gauding. The country reached out to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) for help. The IMF imposes strict rules that countries looking to obtain financial aid must adhere to, in many cases causing the country in need severe social problems, including in the case of Malawi when they asked for aid to help mitigate the unfortunate circumstances that had left many in the country in severe poverty, a poverty that had developed to the level that the poverty itself was causing death and health problems in the form of starvation and lack of basic medical solutions. The IMF stipulates that the countries it offers aid to must stop giving subsidies to its citizens. Gauding. In the case of Malawi, the local government was giving subsidies to farmers for nitrogen fertilizers, which allows food to be grown to feed the nations people. Once the IMF demanded a stop to these subsidies, the rate of starvation sky rocketed.
