Project Based Learning

For project based learning, Sapphire, Oceana and I have chosen to help the homeless and make a positive impact on the community in New Zealand and possibly around the world too.

Our group name is Female Dogg

Here are the ideas we've come up with to help them: 

• Do a mufti day to Raise Money
• For the mufti day make posters, to spread awareness   
• Interview them and write their stories on a blogpost.
• If we need to raise more money we can maybe do a sausage sizzle and all the money goes towards the things they will need
• Maybe we can get My fathers Barbers to cut their hair
• Raffle
• Make food
• Raise money and donate to a campaign that’s already raising money for the homeless

I have only looked a few websites such as Mother Nature Network which has assisted in giving me some ideas to help the homeless.

We could choose a few of the most effective ways of helping from the list above and go through with them to ensure we aren't wasting our time and resources. We've also encountered a big obstacle in which we can't have a mufti day at school, our solution is possibly doing a raffle.

If you walk past a homeless and you don't have anything to give them just be friendly, acknowledge them, show them a bit of compassion and say hello or good morning. Homeless people lose the feeling of being a person and people act like they're not there when they walk past.
