Education for All
=Group members: Abigail, Iris, and Annabelle=

Narrowed Topic:
 Helping others gain an education that they would not normally be able to get in Manila, Philippines.

Paragraph on Issue:
Our group is made up of Iris, Annabelle, and me Abby. We chose Education For All as our topic because all three of us have been blessed to be able to go to a great school like this and gain such a good education. We know how much our education is worth. We also have seen what happens when you don't get an education. We feel that every child deserves to get the education we get and be able to go to school. But sadly, many people don't get the chance to go to school. Whether it is because of money, no access, no room or any other reason these children never get the chance to go to school.This was one of the many reasons for choosing this topic. During the beginning of this project we learned a lot about education for all and the issues with the topic and also what they are doing to try and solve the problems. There are many organizations out there giving people the basic needs for education. These people give out books and learning tools to families that would not be able to get those items on their own. They also help many adults learn how to read and write. The people working with these organizations require a lot of experience because many of the people without an education by not being able to afford it but also because they can't read or write. This often happens with adults so they are not able to get good jobs and are not always able to support their families. Millions of people out there are effected by all of this and have been trying to do what they can in order to gain a higher education in order to get a good job which gives them enough money in order to have a successful future and one day be able to pay for their own kid's education. We hope to help out with one of these organizations in order to make a difference in at least one child's life.  Name: Abigail

Organization and Action Plan Brainstorm

Part One: Developing Your Action Plan

1. The name of your organization: Helping Education La Philippines (HELP)

2. Your specific topic: Our specific topic is to help the people in Manila, Philippines get an education and help the people there who aren't able to get an education on their own.

3. The purpose- Why are you doing this action? We are doing this action because we want to raise money in order to help and make a difference in kids lives. We are also doing this because the more people find out about the issue the more people will want to help out. By doing this we will be able to help Manila offer an education for lots of kids in the future.

4. The message- Why should people be informed about this issue? People should be informed about this issue because people care about this issue and also parents want their own children to be able to go to school and gain a higher education. People also want to help others such as children or teenagers who normally wouldn't be able to have an education. By doing this they can make a difference in many lives.

5. A goal- make sure this is a project that can be done and hopefully continued To hopefully raise at least 300 rmb and donate it to an education for all organization in the Philippines named FAD. If we are not able to get it to the Philippines we will donate the money to an organization in China that could also use the money. We also want to raise more awareness on this issue and let the people know what is going on over there.

6. A short-term plan for achieving your goal (keep it simple and don’t be too ambitious- again make sure you CAN actually do this) We will ask our friends and family to donate to our organization. We will tell the people about our organization and also some background information on our issue we are dealing with. We will also try and sell baked goods in order to raise more money by selling them at school.

7. A long-term plan for achieving your goal Our long-term goal for this project will be asking our parents to help us tell their friends and other people about our project and get them to help donate to the organization we will be sponsoring. We also hope to continue to raise more money for the Education For All.

8. Resources needed for this action plan We will need to find people to donate money to our NGO and we also will need resources to make the bake goods. We will also have to prepare some information on our issue for when we go out and ask people to donate money to help the people in Manila get a proper education.

9. Division of responsibilities- who will do what? Iris- Bake, find people to donate money to our organization, keep track of all finances Annabelle- bring cookies, find people to donate money to our organization Abby- Bake, find people to donate money to our organization, prepare information to give to people
