Whew! We worked hard last night! The students spent the two hours really starting to dive into their issue: homeless animals. The more they learn about the issue, the more creative they will be able to be with their projects, and the more impact they will have on the issue. Student watched videos and read articles to learn more about the causes, effects, and resources available. Student dove into topics on spraying and neutering programs, feral cats, dog fighting, lost pets, cockfighting, causes of homelessness for pets, and puppy mills. We learned a ton, and next week students will start to brainstorm ideas for projects to address one or more of these issues.
Also, I wanted to note that this week was the first week that all 11 students in the club were present. I really hope that we have many more weeks of everyone in attendance. Each week the students make big decisions for Global Youth Service Day and it is important to have everyone's input so that all students are on board with group decisions. Plus, it adds more ideas and makes team building easier.
Have a great week--I'll see you next Monday!
Peace,
Laura
