Language Question

As we examining newspaper writing through the lens of "fairness and equity in our world", I thought it would be an amazing opportunity for our class to actually put the conversations we have had about creating a fair and equitable world into action. As a class, we will choose a campaign that we can help build from the ground up, that:

1) Raises awareness about an "unfair" issue in our world (child labour, food shortage, dirty water, poverty, homelessness etc).

2) Raises money or awareness for a charity of our choice

3) Collects goods such as food, clothing or other necessities that can be donated to people who are in need,

For tomorrow, I would like each person in our class to brainstorm an idea for an event we can organize as a class in order to create a more fair world.

Tell me:
1) What is your idea?

2) How will this idea create more fairness in our world?

3) What do we need to plan/organize to be able to do what you want to do?
