Djing: A Non-Profit Analysis

299 Words2 Pages
From hands-on service around the world, to originating successful fundraisers, I participate in various aspects of community service. Some of my fundraisers have even been published. I currently spend most of my time doing service towards my fundraising project expanding access to education. I could not imagine being one of the over 75 million children without access to education. As I was beginning my hobby of DJing, I immediately decided that I will partner with Pencils of Promise (PoP) to start my own fundraising project where twenty percent of my profits from every event DJ’d will go to the organization. PoP is a non-profit expanding access to education to children in the developing world. The reason I chose PoP is because 100% of donations

I’ve always appreciated the excellent education my parents have provided me and want to help children in the third world receive basic education and experience the joy of learning. When I learned that Kiva Microfunds aims to alleviate poverty for the long run, I decided to participate and invest through Kiva. Over a period of five months, I lead a group called Global Engagement and conducted research, wrote a story about a girl traveling the world, designed and illustrated the book, and placed an online order to turn our idea into reality. We hosted fundraisers and sold our books to visitors, faculty, parents, and students. At the end of last year, we raised over $200, and I’m proud to say that we were able to help educate four children in

During high school, my sister, Alyssa, and I were very involved in the fine arts. I was a part of Riverside High School’s Orchestra as a violinist and Alyssa is still currently a part of the Pride of Riverside Marching Band as a percussionist. While the band is growing and becoming more involved with the community, they struggle to find volunteers for the competitions and musical events. The event that I participated in for six hours on March 17, 2018, was a subsection of the band called Riverside Winter Percussion Ensemble. The student had a competition at Rock Hill High School in Rock Hill, South Carolina, however, they only had one volunteer to help with prop set up, loading and un-loading of instruments.

The article “ 4 Easy ways to create social impact right now (+ 4 tools that can help)” written by Anita Leffel and published on Engage July 27, 2016, made me reflect on the importance of been active in our community and to be aware of the social problems that affect our community, such as homeless, racism, gun control, income inequality, and many more that need extra attention. It is important to protect our communities and create social change even when things seem difficult to achieve. When I look around the city of Chicago I encounter many homeless. This is a social problem that I wish I could do something to help and find a way to get them out of the streets. Anital Leffel motioned that volunteering our time is an important step to

Although most students despise required community service, these little actions instill appreciation within ourselves and give back with a few little heroic deeds. Our service obligations allow us to learn about ourselves in context to the rest of the world, demanding us to see people from different circumstances, and help those less fortunate. Donating cherished time and energy to charity organizations serves the greater good of society. Therefore, these hours force us to learn gratitude and be little heroes, in a

70% of wealthy parents make their kids volunteer 10 hours or more a month, while only 3% of low income parents do the same (Dindar). While volunteering is generally a positive action that leads to positive outcomes to those in need, it can be problematic. Parents who use concerted cultivation encourage community service to gain resume boosters, networks, and a sense of pride in helping those who are “less fortunate.” Often the only time the upper class and middle class communities interact with low-income communities is through volunteer work. Though their very limited interactions, they form stereotypes, prejudices, and mental hierarchies of each other.

One proud accomplishment is planning and hosting our Annual Lunar New Year’s celebration at the University of Iowa Memorial Union. With attendance of over 600 individuals from the state of Iowa, we worked to raise over $4000 dollars to our philosophy in less than 6 months.

I have completed so many orders for so many different kinds of people so that the word of my business could travel through not only my high school through classmates, but also throughout the town of Greenwich. Besides school and soccer, my days ultimately revolve around my business which has created a very unique lifestyle.
