Me. It's What I Can Do

         As one of the presentations this slide was there and so I took a picture of it. George Clooney was the right actor's image to get me thinking! Most of the presentations that we saw were about how the individual through his/her dedication achieved their goal and made a difference in what they thought was important and needed the attention of a society, community, culture, or the world rather.

The image on the left is exactly how my group and I felt in the beginning. At first we were completely clueless, though once we got IDEAS, we became overly excited and could not decide on what topic to focus on. Though slowly, we reached to a conclusion that we were all passionate about education and how we can aide educators help or supplies to teach their students or audience. 

Once we had our topic we were at the focus stage of our project, we had converged and were on the process of diverging into the mainstream of our project, T.E.A.C.H; Teaching Educators and Changing Haiti. After this process we had started to think like our target, as in what would the educator need to complete his/her job. Thus, we used the Empathy map. With this map, we would take the perspective of the educators and see what they would feel like, what motivates them, how do they play a role in their society already, etc.

Once we completed that step, our Global Citizen Group was supposed to make a comic strip of our real life situation. As in what the situation is like before, what we would do to help, how we would approach them, how the process would look, and then the final successful ending, and how they community would become self sustainable. 

This is a sketch of what my group had done for the comic strip and showed how we would approach our educators in Haiti, what we would provide, then the effects of the project, and then how they become self-sustainable. 

After this step, once we completed our project, we were told to go out and vote for a project that we thought has a motive and enthusiasm to actually care for their goal for the community. Sooo, these are some of my groups' members trying to advertise for our project, as we did have the amazing Antonio Banderas as our identification for votes. 

In the end, there were a total of 5 projects that would be chosen as the top 5 and would get a chance to present the project everyone attending the conference. And this is a picture of my group and I presenting our project's floor plan and aim for Haiti! :D

It was a SUCCESS!
