I feel that this project will help my students build their self-esteem. Allowing them to feel warm and have the things that they desire will encourage them to continue being knowledgeable scholars. This project will let these children of poverty know that they do not go unnoticed. Changes in their daily lives may sometimes impact their learning but we can eliminate this by making sure all children have their essential needs met. It will take time to reach every student, but over time we can. I chose resources such as uniforms, underwear, socks, jackets, hats and gloves for those children who come to school in 30 degree weather with shorts and no jacket. As an advocate for children I feel that it is not the fault of the child for what they are going through. I will evenly disperse these resources among the children whom I have noticed are in need.
