My Project

G.L.O.W. (Girls Leading Our World), our dedicated student-led organization, is embarking on an exciting new monthly seminar as part of our community service project. In one of our upcoming meetings, we will shine a light on the pressing issue of food scarcity in our community and its profound impact on women and children.

During this meeting, our talented and passionate students will undertake a research project to delve deeper into the factors contributing to food insecurity and its consequences.

They will explore the specific challenges faced by vulnerable populations and the implications for women and children in particular. Through their diligent research, they will gain a comprehensive understanding of the issue and identify potential avenues for creating positive change.

Students will showcase their findings and insights by presenting their research projects in front of the group. This platform will foster dialogue, exchange of ideas, and encourage critical thinking among our members. Through these presentations, we aim to promote awareness and inspire action among our peers.

To further raise awareness and engage our wider community, we have planned a culminating project. Our students will collaboratively create a captivating video montage that encapsulates the essence of our cause.

In a unique and impactful twist, we will utilize the snacks provided by the DonorsChoose grant to enhance the hygiene bags we are preparing for the women and children's shelter. By incorporating nutritious and non-perishable food items, we aim to provide not only essential toiletries and personal care products but also sustenance for those struggling with food insecurity. This comprehensive approach acknowledges the interconnectedness of these issues and seeks to address them holistically.
