Change for Developing World Change

Collecting money for charity is much more effective when you can make a tangible connection to the charity. Collect loose change from each class during first period/or in the cafeteria at lunch. All change that is collected is placed on one side of a scale with the goal being to have the change weigh more than a sack of rice by the end of the week. This total can then be calculated to indicate how many bags of rice can be bought with the money collected. (This is from CPAR’s Tools for Action kit. For more ideas, check out the Tools for action webpage)
