International Awareness for 2,500 students at Santa Monica High School

(contributed by Alberto de pablo)

On World Entrepreneurship Day at Santa Monica High School, we had a two part event – first an assembly in which we educated the Santa Monica High School campus about the devastating effects that are occurring in the Kenyan slums and the efforts that NextAid and the GO campaign are doing to help these children.

The second part was our International Entrepreneurship Fair where our Virtual Enterprise Class and the Project ECHO class researched over 35 different countries and learned about their major imports and exports, GDP per capita, business customs, and HDI’s (Human Development Index). After we learned these facts we share them with at least 2,500 other students on our campus.

In addition, we teamed up with a SAGE team in Uganda. They sent us products, like wooden sculptures, jewelry, and also some paintings. (featured in picture above) We held a silent auction, from which we have raised over $750 for the Ugandan team.

We applied for the Youth Venture Grant and received $1,000 for start-up capital. We have also raised almost $400 for the NextAid and the GO Campaign organization.
