The Problem

We are trying to solve the problem of the depletion in random acts of kindness in the teen society and world in general. We are also solving the problem for low self esteem and depression, suicide, and bullying.

Plan of Action

Our plan of action is to spread awareness and participation of our Penny Hearts project. For every act of kindness, a person will add a heart to their bedroom wall or scrapbook. We'll make 100 mini paper hearts for one bag. Each bag costs 1 dollar. Each dollar goes to a money jar which we will give to an organization such as TWLOHA. We'll sell the bags of hearts at our website or our school. Others who wish to participate, teens preferably, can form Penny Hearts teams in their own school to spread the project movement. We will need an organization to sponsor us since we are teens with big hearts and dreams for this project. It would be a great help. The project will be called Penny Hearts since 100 hearts in a bag equal 1 dollar and 100 pennies equal 1 dollar. The penny hearts will have a theme according to holidays and seasons, for example red for Valentines Day and orange for Halloween. The result of this project is the spread of acts of kindness, rewards for the acts, and self esteem and love boosters into people.
