"Ruka Pomoschi" - Helping the Homeless

    One of the charity organizations we have decided to help using the money collected during the fundraising money collecting challenge is the "Ruka Pomoschi" organization that helps the homeless people around Moscow. Together with the girls who have been contacting the organization in order to find out what kinds of things they are in need of, we went to one of the biggest supermarkets in Moscow and have bought big amounts of food that the organization suggested we get - wheat, grain, rice, pasta, biscuits, sugar, salt, drinking water, tea, coffee, condensed milk, mustard and pearl barley.
   The next day after school we went to the organization's office, where we were met by a lovely woman, who turned out to be the coordinator of the organization. She asked us questions regarding how we found out about the organization and why we have decided to help the charity organization. She then expressed sincere gratitude for our help, because even the smallest help can save someone's life.

The following learning outcomes were met:
- Planned and initiated activities
- Worked collaboratively with others
- Shown perseverance and commitment to the activity
- Engaged in issues of global importance
- Considered ethical implications of our actions
