Context
Students were given time to pursue their own personal inquiry topic. One student chose to investigate this issue of poverty. Her brother had visited Uganda with his baseball team and had seen extreme poverty. She initiated a fundraising effort by creating homemade crafts and selling them at school and at after-school events. She also made a video to document her journey of self-realization, comparing her life in Canada with life in developing countries.
