What I am hoping for this last project is to persuade people to donate and raise money/awarness for the people in Haiti. The very first time I ever heard about what was going on in Haiti was from the organization, "Food for the Poor Inc". They are raising donations and educating people all around the world about the issues Haiti faces. Therefore, I might use this somehow in my project, but I'm not quite sure how yet. I'm thinking I will try to persuade my audience to donate to this organization. Also, I might suggest that there are so many other organizations you can donate to that are trying to help many different countries in need.
My audience will be to my family because I think it would be really cool to raise money with my whole family for Haiti. I will try to inform them of what is going on and why it is important to help these people living in poverty and a devestating enviornment. My goal is that my family members will get really involved and get their friends to donate as well. Also, my action for this project will hopefully be going out and raising money to donate to "Food for the Poor Inc".
Questions:
What else do you think I should add in my project to make it successful?
Do you think my ideas are good enough for a well done project? Do you think there will be people who will donate and raise money for Haiti?
I think that your ideas are really great. Trying to raise money for an organization is a great way to raise social awareness and "take action." And I also think that if you inform people enough, they will definitely donate. One way you could raise money is creating a letter to send to people. My sorority sends out letters about Habitat for Humanity and we usually get pretty good responses. Just like an informational letter that says what the organization is and where the money is going to, people love to know where their money is going to end up.
ReplyDeleteI really like your a ideas and I think your goals are attainable. In addition you could maybe make a brochure about your cause and hand them out at your church and inform them of the problems in Haiti and how to donate. I know they did something like this at my church and I know it was pretty successful. So, doing this along with persuadeing your family could be a great project.
ReplyDeleteThe ideas of raising money for anyone in need is always beneficial, so you can go now wrong from there. I think it's great you are really trying to help them out as directly as you can even through donating money. I thought your previous papers/research on your projects were great and very informative. It made me as a reader want to know more, and it even made me want to get involved and help out. I think your ideas for the third project come in sequential order; raising money seems like the next way to go.
ReplyDeleteI love that you are writing to your parents...I would have never thought of that.
ReplyDeleteI think you should explain why Haiti needs funding more than other countries.
I know that people want to raise money for this cause. I believe that many of the organizations that are raising money for Darfur are also trying to get money to Haiti. What is going on in Haiti is a tragedy, and people need to be informed of the situation.
