=Our Purpose= We would like to inform Shanghai American School Pudong of the fact that migrant schools in Shanghai are closing because of financial problems. You may say to yourself, “Only migrant schools are closing, it isn’t a big deal. Why should we care?” Well migrant students aren’t allowed to attend local public schools because they aren’t local residents of the village. Therefore special organizations help build migrant schools for these students. We, as a whole community, can help make a difference by raising money for Compassion for Migrant Children. Who then will use the money we have donated and help keep the schools there are right now.

=Our Message= We believe that all children deserve a right to be educated, whether they are migrant children or local children. This factor shouldn’t affect whether they are able to learn or not. Even though a lot of children are being limited to have an education, we are determined to make a change to that. All of us are going to raise money by having fundraisers in order to keep all the schools in China right now. After our presentation our goal is to have everyone know about this and convince you to help make a difference. But keep in mind if all of us are having an education, why shouldn’t they?

=Short Term Plan= We would like to raise money for Compassion for Migrant Children by having fundraisers. We will have all different kinds of fundraising. For example, bake sales, marathons, banquets, possibly a carnival. All these different kinds of fundraising will hopefully get us a certain amount of money to be donated to Compassion for Migrant Children. Also we would like everyone to know about this issue after our presentation. We would also like everyone to know that they can do something about this issue.

=Our Long Term Plan= Even after we finish this project Tessa and I decided we are still going to help change the fact that a lot of migrant students aren’t able to attend schools. Next year in high school we are going to join Habitat for Humanity. It is a program in high school that goes around Asia trying to make it a better place for the less privileged and poor places. Maybe we can suggest the coordinator to build some migrant schools in smaller and less populated cities. We are able to be apart of Habitat for Humanity for our 4 years in high school. And we are positive we can most definitely make a difference in the world, at least in Asia.
