The Problem

I am trying to raise awareness and promote innovative, sustainable solutions to global poverty. My first goal is to alleviate biological poverty around the world by distributing resources more equally. My second goal is to let other people know about these problems so that they can become part of the solution. This event raises awareness and funds to be donated to Partners In Health in Haiti.

Plan of Action

We first asked our school to bring a speaker to campus. Then we staged a publicity campaign to attract people to the event. We charged $10 a ticket and donated the proceeds to Partners In Health In Haiti.
