By Natalie Tita
Mentor: Alex Gowen
Advisor: Teresa Drian
Teacher: Nan Danehower
DID YOU KNOW….
Between now and tomorrow morning, about 40,000 children will starve to death. The day after tomorrow, 40,000 more children will die and so on.
WHY I CHOSE MY TOPIC AND PRODUCT
I chose my topic because I was interested in the United States involvement in other countries, especially developing countries.
SHOULD THE UNITED STATES GIVE AID TO DEVELOPING COUNTRIES?
In the research for my paper I learned…That the United States gives more aid
than any other country in the world; most of that aid is in the form of military assistance.
Aid sent to developing countries rarely reaches the people it was intended for.
Aid can create the unintended consequence of dependence.
MORE RESEARCH FACTS…. The aid needed to prevent the great majority
of child illnesses in the next decade is equal to the amount of money spent in the US to advertise cigarettes annually.
Its time for developed nations to rethink their approach to assisting undeveloped nations.
BAKE SALE AND VOLUNTEERING WITH THE FISHERMAN
For my product, I volunteered with a nonprofit international organization called The Fisherman. (name derived from Chinese proverb)
BAKE SALE AND VOLUNTEERING WITH THE FISHERMAN
With The Fisherman, I got to see the inter-workings of an aid organization and raise money to collect medical and hygiene supplies for orphans in Moldova.
LEARNING STRETCH
This product was a learning stretch for me because I was treated like a real member of an organization and saw the processes of delivering aid and researching mission trips.
I had to learn business etiquette for my bake sale.
SUCCESSES
Raising three hundred dollars Learning about aid delivery Becoming a permanent member of The
Fisherman
SELF REFLECTION
What did I learn about my self? I need a timetable for ALL future projects.This product has helped me learn to work
independently successfully.
