Time Line

My project is about Gang violence, I chose to make posters and banners to put up around my neighborhood I chose this because I can not only tell my class about this problem but I can tell the WHOLE neighborhood about it. Also getting things to sell and raise money for wood's home foundation; the wood's home foundation is a place that helps troubled kids and families though the hard times. Also I am making posters with pulley things so I have proof that someone has look at the posters. I'm making a chain mail to send around and have people sign it, so that could be my proof for that. Last but no least I'm selling pencils and I will take pictures of people holding the pencils so that proofs that they bough them and all that jazz.

GANG VIOLENCE

Why do I care?

I care about this because it's a problem, it kills people. It's not fair that people who don't have a good life and don't get a good education, housing, job, etc. should join gangs. To me it creates more problems then if they didn't join a gang.

Why should others care?

Others should care because we need to keep peace in our societies; not violence. Also because I want people to feel safe at night; and not for mafias to start. The other reason is less people will die from drugs, alcohol, shootings, etc. and people wont get assaulted or beat up by gangs.

What can I do?

I can start fundraising for food,shelter,education, so we can prevent people joining gangs. Also advising people so they know that this is a major problem; so we can finally take action. We can make our world a safer place!

Evidence
