POVERTY IN YOUR COMMUNITY

the problem:

The problem I am trying to solve is the lack of awareness of poverty in our community. People aren't doing anything to help those unfortunate and they even discriminate not knowing an individual's condition.

vital stats:

people impacted:

0

people involved:

5

why it's important:

I want everyone to be involve and support my cause to help others because I don't believe that one should go to bed on an empty stomach or not have a home to go to sleep. We should embrace communal love and help each other out.

the plan of action:

We will interview people at shelter homes and food pantry about their everyday lifestyle. Then we will interview people at local business, schools, and family on their awareness of poverty and what have they done to help or why they haven't help. We plan to submit this on you-tube and to schools city-wide.
