2/10/2019 0 Comments finalizing our topicThis week in CBL, we finally settled on a topic! We've decided that the final problem we are working on is immigrants, specifically youth who have seemed asylum, with PTSD. We arrived at this topic after many failed interviews on the phone, successful interviews with a few adults from school, and a lot of research. In terms of the solution to this problem, we are considering a few options. This by no means is a small problem, so we wanted to narrow it down to everyday activities that might help relieve stress, but are not available to asylum seekers with smaller sums of money. Things like art supplies, are not a commodity immigrant families with less money can afford. So, one of the solutions we have thought up is a drive for art supplies, such as paper, pencils, colored pencils, coloring books, paints, etc. We don't know wether or not this has been attempted, but we are hopeful that we will get a good turn out. We plan on holding the drive at our school. A way that we could enhance this idea is by making use of an event at our school called Buy it on the Bridge. Buy it on the Bridge is a juncture held during the school day where students sell products they have made or baked on the Bridge at our school, connecting the two halves of Windward. We can sell a product, most likely a baked good, and use the proceeds to buy art supplies. We can also do a mini drive during the event. |
