Action Project Details

I am in group #1 with Miguel, Franca and Clarence. For our action project we are going to be volunteering with Grace House which is a program that provides housing, emotional/spiritual support and professional counseling to women who are exiting the Illinois correction system. The women of Grace House have chosen to support the SOS Children's Village of Haiti by putting together a fundraiser which will take place on March 19, 2010 and will offer the public the option to order meals for lunch, dinner or both. The money the people spend on the food is what is going to be donated to the children's village. The SOS Children's Village is an independent non-governmental social development organization in which people work in countries and communities to help contribute to their development. This organization is active in 132 countries and territories worldwide. We are going to distribute a brochure to people explaining this fundraiser in great detail, which will hopefully encourage them to want to participate so Grace House can raise as much money as possible to help the children in Haiti.
