Together with my friends, I am aiming to fundraise a
sum of money to help build houses for the poor through the organization called Habitat
for Humanity. My friends and I are planning on selling food and drinks during
lunchtime at school every Thursday and Friday, and if we have to prepare in
advance, we will do this on Wednesday and Thursday afterschool. After raising
some money, we will donate them to Habitat for Humanity in October to support
its program called 28uild in which we will have the opportunity to actually help
build the houses that we have helped fund.
Through this activity, my friends and I can obtain
an experience on how to run an “organization”, but above all, we are able to
help others through our own efforts.
Learning
Outcomes:
- I will increase my awareness of my
strengths and areas for growth
This
CAS activity is more of a project that includes various activities such as
cooking, communicating effectively and selling. So, through this CAS activity,
I will be able to increase my awareness on where my strengths and areas for
growth are.
- Undertaken new challenges
I am the person in charge for this CAS project. I
have 7 people in my team and I have never led a group this big before. So
undertaking this responsibility must be a new challenge for me.
- Planned and initiated activities
This activity is a small student led activity. My
friends and I started and planned it.
- Worked collaboratively
with others
Since I am doing this activity together with my
friends, this CAS activity will require me to collaborate with others.
- Shown perseverance and
commitment in my activities
To work together will be very hard. We will have
problems along the way but we will show perseverance and commitment in order to
finish this CAS activity.
- Engaged with issues of
global importance
Through this activity, my friends and I will help
poor families, financially and physically, to build decent houses for them to
live in. We try to engage with the global issue of poverty, even though our
actions will only affect our community. However, we think that it will be more
worth it to start small than to never start at all.
- Considered the ethical
implications of my actions
By undertaking this activity, I will be forced to
contemplate on whether or not my actions are morally correct. Not only to the
poor families my friends and I will be helping, but also to my friends.
- Developed new skills
Through this activity, I will increase my expertise
on a lot of areas, including communication, persuasion, organization, and planning.
