Quotes From Previous Students:
"I really enjoyed fundraising for a cause I was really passionate about. I have always wanted to participate in social activism and raising awareness but have never found the time to do so. This week was a great opportunity."
"SAW surpassed my expectations as it gave me an opportunity to feel good and actually fundraise for something that everyone liked and work as a group to achieve something. The best part was going out in Cambridge and seeing the amount of different people fundraising and getting involved through different methods and means and learning more about social issues through them. I learnt that even the smallest things can make a difference, you just have to go out and try and make an impact."
"I really enjoyed working with my group towards something so productive and with such great impact. It also gave me the opportunity to step out of my comfort zone gradually with people I already knew and trusted."
"It felt really good to be able to see how we were actively raising money that was going to help children who needed it. I also really enjoyed spending time with my peers as we don't talk very often and it was nice to get to know them some more. That fundraising not only does good for the people who receive the money, but does good for me as I enjoy giving."
"Great chance to get to know my form, spend a day outside and speak to members of the community. Also allowed us to take the reins and be creative while having fun and doing some good!Type your paragraph here"
Task 3 – Amplifying the Cause
A big part about Social Action Week is to work closely with your chosen charity and understand the work they do! As you start planning your team’s schedules for the week, think about the following questions:
1. How can my team amplify the cause that the charity is working for?
2. What are some ways we can share the work that they do? Example: Wear t-shirts of the charity, put up their posters, etc.
3. How is our project plan connected to the work that they do?
