Self Reflection
Overall I think this project was a success, because we had a lot of hurdles to jump over, and we won the race in the end. We were able to collect an acceptable amount of clothes, and really helped people in the end. I think this project really helped me to understand the true meaning of a global citizen. It really showed me that even though I never really donated money, the clothes we donated helped make a world of difference. Now a global citizen is someone who puts other people, including people outside of they neighborhood or even country which is why it has the word global in it. I believe than being a global citizen is important, but there is something more important than taking care of people outside of your country. I think that we need to work on helping our community, then work our way out. If we were able to make one fully functional community, then everybody would be help everybody out.

Overall I would call our Kahiau project a success. We got to make a difference in our community and help those in need. We went from trying to start a surf competition, to waiting almost a month for a basketball tournament that turns out wasn't going to happen. Finally we end up at a clothes drive where we got nice clothes to give to some pretty cool people. Our goal was to give them the clothes to give them a better appearance for society to accept them so they could get a job and be successful. We will ask the people who receive the clothes to stay in contact with us to see how a piece of clothing will hopefully help make a difference in their overall life and success. This taught me to be a global citizen by teaching me to accept everyone as a human no matter what. Outward appearance doesn't matter as much as inward appearance and who you are as a person. You are apart of my family because you are human and I've learned to accept all people for that. This project has helped me understand individuality and to be accepting of everyone.

We are a non profit group of people wanting to help collect clothes for the homeless populous in Hawaii. Considering we have one of the highest homeless populations in the world we feel that this is an important issue to act on
