This Kahiau project helped me understand the concept of being a global citizen because the concept of this entire project revolved around identifying yourself as someone being part of an emerging world community and whose actions contribute to building this community's values. In world history, we learned a lot about well known global citizens such as Schindler and Ghandi and what they did to contribute to their community and how they impacted the world. Some patterns that I have seen are that there is a lot of having to call businesses to ask the same question on how can they help us. It takes a lot of time and effort to call each business. I can't even imagine the struggle of being homeless. We are very privileged to have the things we have and this is the least we can do to help out our community. I learned about the perspective of homeless people and it's very different from how we live. We have a first world perspective, thinking about all of the first world problems like our phones dying or not getting what we want to eat while other are just barely surviving. We honestly didn't expect to be so well prepared for the project coming into it but I am glad that our predictions were wrong. An important thing to have is the long term plan because it really did help us along the way knowing what our goals were and the time frame we wanted to complete it in. Something I would have done different is changed the way we asked people to donate. I believe if we had more publicity, a lot of people would be willing to donate and we would have a lot more donations.

AuthorAloha my name is Josiah Hernandez. I am a 15 year old sophomore at Kamehameha Schools. Being able to help others and having them show their appreciation is a feeling unlike any other. I believe that with this project we can show our generosity and gratitude to the less fortunate and make a change for the better in their lives. Archives
