A global citizen is someone who self identifies as a member of the human race and someone who is prepared to act on that belief to tackle our world's greatest challenges. Project "Can" Do is aligned with being a global citizen because one of the biggest problems throughout the nation and even world is hunger and this project tries to help in solving this problem. Another part with global citizenship is acting on what you say you're doing. It would be a lot easier for all of us to just say that we're going to help out, but actually taking that step to collect the food is what begins our journey as a global citizen. Global citizens also end up facing problems while they're taking action. I know personally, it was a little difficult for me to collect cans because many of the people I asked said they didn't have cans or they didn't want to help out so it got a little frustrating. This project can affect us as the people in charge of the project because it gets us closer to becoming global citizens and it makes us better people. This will hopefully have an impact on the community because we can help to feed those who are hungry or don't have much.

We are still collecting cans from anyone who is willing to still donate. Donations will be collected until Friday, April 28, unless otherwise notified by either Makana, Kialoa, or myself. We will be dropping the canned food off at either a Ruby Tuesday's or Napa Auto Parts store by next week Friday, April 28. At these stores they have donation boxes to collect canned goods and the cans collected there will be donated directly to the Hawaii Foodbank. If you would like to donate but cannot meet up with us in time, feel free to notify us and drop off cans at one of those stores. Mahalo for your support in our project!
We've pushed the deadline for collection back a little so we could get as many cans as possible. We're still collecting cans so you are still able to donate for the next week or so. Our goal is 50 cans between the three of us. Please continue to donate canned goods to benefit those in need! Mahalo for your support in our project!

AuthorMy name is Sierra Kanoa. I am 16 and a tenth grader at Kamehameha Schools Kapālama. This project is important to me personally because I take so much for granted, and a big thing that I take for granted is food, and this project is making me appreciate all I have since many people don't have what I do. Mahalo nui for supporting our project! Archives
