I am a Junior in HHS and I chose to do a project on education alongside with others who share the same passion. I am a part of the Global Citizens Program looking to make an impact on the community. In my Service Learning Class, I have had the opportunity to do such by working on "Heart of Daskalos" to achieve quality education for all.

I am a Senior at HHS and I took the class tiny house where I got to help build a house and that really showed me how much I liked helping out for a good cause. Now I am in service learning where I am working with a couple other partners where we are trying to help provide education to everyone.

I am a senior at HHS. A couple of years ago I flew to portland, Oregon to help build tiny houses for houseless people. Understanding how much I can help people has driven me to try and help communities who cannot get out of poverty. Now my partners and I are hoping that with the creation of "Heart of Daskalos" we can help more communities to get out of poverty.

On our Instagram, we post our upcoming fundraisers and the actions we have taken so far.
Heart of Daskalos is a project based on education and focuses on achieving quality education around the world. The project targets the root of the cause that includes many of the Sustainable Development Goals. Education is able to provide an abundance of resources for all and ties into issues with poverty, health, hunger, inequalities, water, peace, and countless more.
Targeted Goals
Our Progress
So far, in the past two months, we have donated over $300 to a non-profit organization called School the World. We have been doing fundraisers and selling concessions. We plan to continue fundraising and getting money to donate to the organization. We have also made flyers to hang around the HHS and to post on our Instagram.
These are a couple of pictures of us selling concessions and making the flyers and posters
These are some of the flyers that we have created.
School The World is a Non-Profit Organization based in Boston and they have spent 11 years working on combatting poverty in poor countries through education. The organization collaborates with students, community leaders, and volunteers to ensure access to education for those in need. School the World has provided scholarships, tutors, built schools, classrooms, libraries, playgrounds, trained teachers, and enrolled thousands of students in school.
We are utilizing the organization for our fundraising and the money will be donated to help fund books for schools in Honduras, Panama, and Guatemala.
All proceeds go to School The World
