Revised Proposal
The organization Habitat for Humanity would not exist today without volunteers. Volunteers who need a house and also volunteers who just wish to volunteer. In order for Habitat for Humanity to help build you a house, you must volunteer your time not only on your own house but also on the houses of others. This basic foundation of helping others and helping yourself goes to show that volunteering is crucial to the Habitat for Humanity. I will begin my activism in this organization by creating a pamphlet to hand out to students on our classes' public sphere day. Also in April, USI's Habitat for Humanity plans to raise money by sponsoring a 4k race and a car wash in order to help build a house here in Evansville. I not only plan to help build the house, but I also plan on giving my time at the fundraisers the organization is putting on. I must also try and attend every weekly meeting on Wednesday evenings to stay informed and updated on their upcoming events and or fundraisers. It is important that in order to be an activist in any certain organization that you are informed to the best of your knowledge about your specific group.

The plan for raising money for the organization by USI is a very good idea. Being able to help build a house locally shows that Habitat for Humanity is an all-around great organization for people to volunteer and help with.
ReplyDeleteI think that you emphasize volunteering too much. Maybe talk more about the positive things the volunteers and the people who are getting the house feel about Habitat for Humanity. You need to talk more about what exactly you are going to do on the Public Sphere Day.
A few suggestions: Have a poster/flyer that has pictures of people helping build a house together. List different things people could do to help Habitat for Humanity. Try to inform people about the organization and why they should help because it may want them to attend the April project USI is having for Habitat for Humanity.
The plan for raising money for the organization is in full swing. USIs' Habitat for Humanity is taking action and raising much money this month. Also, I emphasized on volunteers so much because that is one of the main problems. Habitat for Humanity would not exist without them as like most organizations. I plan to hand out pamphlets stating what the organization is and how they can get involved. In the pamphlet there will be motivational quotes and pictures. Thanks for the response and positive criticism.
