humanitarian assistance to people in your local community
For this Major Assignment, you will develop a project to provide humanitarian assistance to people in your local community.
a). List at least 3 people or contact numbers that you might be able to reach out to help identify needs in your community. This can be representatives from local churches, charities, governmental, or non-governmental organizations. If you’d like, go ahead and make some calls; this will help you work ahead on the assignment.
b). List at least 2 groups of people you could assist. Ideally, you will be able to identify a very specific set of people that you will be able to help. For example, instead of saying that you will work with homeless people, you could see whether there’s a specific homeless shelter that might have some residents who would benefit from services that you could provide.
c). List at least one way in which you could structure an independent project to assist people. Here, you will want to think about what it would take to manage an aid program yourself, rather than volunteering with an existing program. For example, instead of saying that you will collect food and deliver it to an existing food bank, you would want to ask yourself what it would take to identify people who might need food and deliver the food to them directly.
