My group and I are doing the bake sale! I'm not sure if it's 100% sure yet but I think we are donating the money we make to the Langley Food Bank. The money will get put to buying things like food, maybe some drinks. It depends whatever the food bank would like to do with it. Food banks are for less fortunate people who do not have the money to go out and buy themselves and the family's meals. I am excited that we get to do this and it makes me happy that everyone is doing something to help.

My group are making care packages with medical care and other things for homeless people. We are going to give the care packages to people living in any type of poverty. We want to help these people living in poverty because these people are having a rough time trying to survive and we want to help them.

We are raising awareness about poverty and I think collecting donations like non pershable food items and money for a food bank and we are helping people that go to the food banks. We want to help them because people are hungry and asking for food and some people look at them discussed when that could be you so I think our goal is to raise awareness about poverty, talk about how you can stop it and all that wonderful stuff.

My group is collecting donations from our neighborhoods and make care packages. In care packages, I would put in toothpaste, toothbrush, bandages, and nail clippers, so they can at least do very basic things. I want to help them because they are struggling to survive and don't even have necessities.

I don't know exactly what we are going to be doing. But I think that we are going to film a video about poverty. I think if we did the video we could show the class and they would want to help people living in poverty. But if we do the donation box then we would be donating to the place where you donate to. I do not know where these people live. I want to help them by donating money. I want to help them because they are living in poverty.

Our group is creating awareness for poverty by creating a website. We will be handing out flyers about the website so people actually know about it. We'll also be collecting non-perishable food items as a side and donating that to the local food bank. By donating our collected food items to the food bank, we are helping those who live in hunger. Maybe we won't collect too much, but every item makes a difference. By creating the website, we are helping everyone around the world (or at least, the people who read the site) become more aware of everything we know about poverty. I'll be honest - at first I thought this unit was boring and depressing. But, as we continued I became really interested and engaged in this topic. Now, I want to help people in poverty because now I know all the struggles they are facing. I feel really bad for them. If I were them, I don't know how I would survive. I want to help these people as much as possible. Maybe our group's project won't necessarily change the world, but it will make a difference.

We are still deciding between a video and donation bins to place around the community. If we do a video we are spreading awareness so people will know what poverty is how it effects the people living in poverty and how they can help end poverty. If we do donation bins we will be able to collect food items to bring to the food bank for people who can't get food themselves.

My group is doing a bake sale and all of the money that we will raise will go to the Langley food bank. The food bank will then use that money most likely to get food to the less unfortunate who can not go and buy it themselves. We hope that all you in our class could bake something for the bake sale because it would be a great help and it would all go to a great cause.

My group and I are going to make car packages. In these care packages they are going to have a bottled water, non-parishable foods like cereal and granola bars. We are going to places near the Willowbrook Mall to give our care packages because there are a lot of homeless people there we can give too. We are doing this to help someone with their day and they will save a bit of money because we gave them extra water and food.

My group is making care packages and putting water and non parishable food. We are trying to help people living on the streets so they can have more money saved up. I want to help people like this because no one should be living on the streets with no food or water.

My group and I are making care packages with non-perishable food items water granola bars and maybe some other stuff if we can. We want to give out the care packages to people living on the streets because I can't imagine not sleeping or living in a house.

My plan is to make care packages with personal hygiene items. We will try and get donations from others. I'm not sure where they live but I think there might be some homeless people on Hastings street.

My group is going to do a bake sale. We are donating to the Langley food bank and the money will be put towards good clothing and food. I want to help them because they are living with almost nothing and they deserve better than that.

We are planning to bring awareness of poverty to our neighbourhoods. I think it would mostly be Surrey since it's closer. We are planning for people to realize what really happens when you don't have food, shelter water and more. We are going to give flyers door to door to people and our website and on that website we have information. Bye!

Our action plan was to get bottles and return them to the bottle depot and get the money make kits with your basic needs. Are plans changed though and we were just going to Dante the money to a good bank.
