Group Presentations

The presentations presented this week were all very good.  I was impressed with each individual’s input.  Project H was very moving.  I could tell the girls actually cared and put their whole heart into the project.  I am glad this group plans to obtain donations for homeless outreaches.  I did some of my volunteer hours at the Arch, so this project touched my heart.  Like many of the young ladies in this group, when I first started volunteering with the Arch I was terrified of the homeless people.  I was fearful of being robbed.  I discovered the people at the Arch were not that different from me. I learned to really enjoy working with the homeless population.  After Work Activism did an excellent job explaining what they desire to do and how they plan to pursue social justice issues with the group in the future.  I had received several emails about AWA, but I did not really understand what is about, until the group explained the vision of AWA.  I honestly don’t have the time to be involved, but I appreciated their endeavor.  The executive orders were very surprising.  It is difficult to believe the governor has so much control and the people have no way of really making executive orders illegal.  This group was also impressive in its ability to overcome so many obstacles in doing the project.  While they may not have been able to present the “intended goal”, this group was very informative.   I also enjoyed the group about the education gap.  It is shocking how much difference location and social class make on the ability to achieve educational goals.  In all honesty, I learned more about the education gap from this group’s project than I did from a supposed professional on the issue.  Overall everyone did an excellent job.
