We will be conducting the project on Saturday, April 29th in Kaimuki, We figured this would be a good idea because of how crowded then town is and how close the town is so they would support it. All of the clothes we gather will be donated to GoodWill Kaimuki and to Next Step Shelter in Kaka'ako. Our project connects to being a global citizen because our project is to help all people in need of clothes, shoes and other items that are necessary to survive. We don't want people to feel like that one kid in elementary school who felt left out because his family couldn't afford the cool transformer backpack or the new light up velcro sketchers. Everyone deserves to have clothes and not face the public shame of "looking homeless". Our project is also to help lower stereotypes on homeless people. Maybe giving them nice clothes will help them get a job and become self-sustainable again.
