Part One
 1. The name of your organization: Answer: DDD (Decreasing the Digital Divide) 2. Your specific topic: Answer: Fundraising and Educating Others About Digital Divide in Shanghai 3. The purpose- Why are you doing this action? Answer: We are trying to help digital divide because we think that because all of us are lucky enough to have access to technology like laptops and cell phones, we don't think about the others who don't. We realize that without technology, we would be in trouble, with no place to research things, no immediate connection with your family, friends, or teachers. Although digital divide may not seem like a big deal, it is. It leads to lack of proper education and therefore leading to poverty later in life. 4. The message- Why should people be informed about this issue? Answer: People should be informed about this issue because it's a obstacle, a global obstacle, that everyone has to overcome in order to make this world a better place, for it to grow. The people who don't have technology are like people stranded on a deserted island with no one to call to for help and with no way to escape; they are slowly dying and decaying on that little island. Digital divide is like that. People who don't have technology don't have connection to what's happening today. 5. A goal- make sure this is a project that can be done and hopefully continued: Answer: We are going to make awareness, and possibly fundraise to try to overcome the digital divide. We know that as 8th graders, raising money may be a little hard but we shall try.  6. A short-term plan for achieving your goal: Answer: As for now, we shall start by raising awareness through our wiki, our 45 minute presentation, and through our everyday lives by talking about this issue. 7. A long-term plan for achieving your goal: Answer: We shall start fundraising and donating it to schools in Shanghai for them to buy more computers and other new technology.  We'll choose this school by observing their environment to see how much they need money for new technology. We can make sure they use money for technology by making them sign a contract that they will not use this money on anything else.  8. Resources needed for this action plan: Answer: Us, Jenny, Bengi, and Willy, we need the society to help and support us, and we need others to listen. 9. Division of responsibilities- who will do what?  Jenny: Finalizing work, putting work on and organizing the wiki, raising awareness, and making the powerpoint. Bengi: Helping to research, raising awareness, and taking care of the fundraising. Willy: Helping to research, raising awareness, and organizing the presentation. Back to Top Back to Home
