Save the children of Darfur

In the month of september 2007, I was in the holocaust class watching the video "invisible children" and i decided that I wanted to educate the world about the current events happening. I contacted my teacher and asked her if I could borrow the video. My mission was to educate the world about what is happening in Darfur. I asked my church for permission to show the viewing at the church and to raise money. They agreed that would be a good idea, eventually we ordered food and got activities together.

Peer Mediation

Students who fight in our school come to mediation to work out their problems with the help of a "peer mediator". A peer mediator is another student who assists the students with talking out their problems, helping both sides of the story to be heard without screaming or another fight, and we also help them to come up with an agreement that is both reasonable to both sides. The mediation gets brought to us through students, deans, teachers, and parents.

Operation Awareness

This unique projects aims to raise awareness about the dangers of reckless driving to a large group of local teenagers. It would take place in at least five high schools in the Portland-Beaverton area. These schools totaling at about 11,045 students. If resources allow, I would love to expand this project to schools in other districts. Operation Awareness involves the attention of thousands of teenagers and the production of many wonderful, attention grabbing T-shirts that advertise smart driving and the need for teenagers to use peer influence to drive change.
