Year 8 - Congressional award program is
about setting a goal, committing to it, plan the time and understand the
economics of it to maximize the outcome.
Every year as a part of thanksgiving we work towards building something with
our own hands. We select a volunteer organization and donate all the items
made to that charity. Last two years Xenia FISH Pantry has become our
partner by choice. This is our way of celebrating thanksgiving and
Christmas.
This project not only teaches the value of volunteering it also teaches the
following ECONOMICS: Spend 42 dollars of the
student's personal money. Put in 48 hours per student and make the goods
worth - 10 times more to 420/- TIME: We get from October till
December to do the job. Plan the time. Commitment: We start before
thanksgiving in the spirit of giving and by Christmas, we donate. They
have to commit to something and follow through. Goal: Setting a goal and planning
the time to make it happen. The goal of the project is to make them become compassionate
leaders. |
