Week 6
 
Our charity that my group had decided to donate to was Rady's Children Hospital.
 
1.)It was decided that we would choose Rady's Children because it was difficult to talk to anyone when we just keep getting transferred to a voicemail even though if someone had answered they said we have to ask questions to their supervisors and they got sent to voicemail.
 
2.)My experience in our group environment was simple we didn't argue we all agreed to the decisions that were made and we had no struggle at all. I learned in teamwork that it's the key to accomplishing so much in your assignments.
 
3.)Our check deliver next week will be good to who and what we are donating to because these people care about. It will make me feel great that I am willing to help those in desperate need to ensure that they have a righteous future.

I'm learning about  the various ways  to evaluate an investment in a company by showing how they work in business and how they handle things with the community. I see one method over another by seeing how they work in different situations. I find it easy to evaluate non-profit organizations for a potential investment in their cause.


Our Organization


In my organization and cause I learned about the Public Health Institute (PHI) generates and promotes research, leadership and partnerships to build capacity for strong public health policy, programs, systems and practices.
It is important to look at the numbers before making an investment because it tells the budget on the company and it shows what their investment

Pie chart showing percentage of expenditures to Research and Program (83.7%), Management (16.3%), and Fundraising (1%)When I looked at my organizations tax return I learned that they have a high percentage in Direct research and program services.

Glasses
For the activity of the brown bag we had to bring things that we most cared for. I brought my lab-top that shows i like to be connected to the internet and i like computers. Also i brought my rosary that shows i am very religious. And last my glasses that show how smart i can be. I learned from this activity that this shows what we all truly value and why it means allot to us.
