I gathered toys and assorted children's items to send to an orphanage in Haiti. I also involved my schools' National Honors Society in the cause. They raised awareness and attemepted to help out as well. I sent care packages consisting of bubbles, coloring books, crayons, toys, playdough, and other small items. I also sold shirts at my school to raise money for the cause.

An unexpected 8.8 earthquake hit Chile leaving many residents without a home, clothes, food, water, electricity, gas. Worst of all, it has left them worried and devastated about their lost loved ones.

As of today, over 800 student organizations exist on the UC Berkeley campus, and many more are started every semester. We think that's too much.
And this situation also extends itself into the not-for-profit space where over 1 million charities every year, not to mention the fact that thousands more are launched every year. That is a waste of resources.
Instead of competition and crowdedness in the"doing good" space, we want to foster collaboration. We think that causes like Animal Welfare and Education and Human Rights can co-exist, without having to fight for funds or resources.

Over our winter break, we went to New Orleans/ Mississippi to help rebuild houses and the community that was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina. We planted 5,000 tree, built homes, did plumbing, built a shed and gate, fixed a roof or two, cleared brush, and anything else we could do.

The Magnolia Project is a student, staff and faculty initiative committed to raise on-campus awareness of the injustices surrounding Hurricane Katrina. Our main objective is to provide students with an opportunity to contribute to the rebuilding efforts, and to serve the disenfranchised, low-income communities of the Gulf Coast region.
