Homeless people need a better way to connect to themselves and the community. I want to do this through creating music and a choir for the homeless.
I am addressing the homeless population and concern of not having joy in their lives. I want to hopefully one day create a choir, but currently I am only promoting the need.
My idea is unique and innovative, because through research I could tell that the homeless population had been recognized for needing happiness through art but not music. Also singing is something we all have.
Process:
Through the process, I learned a lot about the homeless population and what's already out there for them. Also just about Innov8 that your first idea is not necessarily the best.
I made a poster that I will share with my advisory. Here is a picture of it.
I created a food drive for the Central Texas Food Bank. I emailed Mrs. Weiss a few days before the Trinity spirit parade saying that I wanted to start a food drive. We emailed back and forth about the logistics, and I made signs for the food drive. We collected a lot of food and we delivered it to the Central Texas Food Bank. We got over a thousand pounds of food to help those in need during the coronavirus.
I think that the food drive was very helpful and successful. I was happy that I decided to take action and start this food drive. People at Trinity were very generous, and I couldn’t have done it without them. I might do this again, but probably not at Trinity.
