[HMDS] Intern Report: Teen Grid Teach In
Sound off! Our promotional event about Child Sex Trafficking Awareness and Activism was such a success! I'm extremely proud that it went so well because of all the hard work and effort that was put into it. I wrote up all the infomative dialogue for the event as well as the questions for trivia. Many of the campers were there to lend a helping hand. Lucky and I presented the information, Ryan Mauriac took snapshots, Brooke Barmy handed out freebies to those participating, and Malarthi Behemoth, Nate Kongo, and TheCoolLeader Boyer were there for moral support and input.
The turn out was amazing! We had a little over 25 teens participate in the event and raised over L$6,000 within the hour for the Polaris Project (www.polarisproject.org). I was especially suprised by the participation rate and how interested they became as we progressed. An interesting pheonomena occured too! As we were giving L$50 to the first person who answered a trivia question correctly, we noticed that most were just donating them back to the donation boxes we had out. I guess this proves just how effective our presentation really was!
