Lesson 3: Outcasts

Hey guys and gals!

Comment on this post to tell us your strategy that meets some needs.

The task was:

Design a strategy to meet a need (physical, emotional, spiritual) in the world. You have $5,000 dollars and 5 staff members. The best types of strategy are sustainable (they don’t damage the environment, and they keep going even when a particular person is replaced), and connect two realities together.

E.g. a company in America makes customised laptop cases out of old t-shirts, and gives all the profits to freeing slaves in poor countries. They connected the realities that thousands of t-shirts get thrown out each year, and that thousands of people are sold into slavery each year. They came up with a way to solve both problems.

Instructions for how to comment are in the first post.

Good luck!

  1. Scenario: Tsunami in Indonesia

    Here's my strategy:

    Sponsor 2 medical staff = $2,500 (flight, accomodation)

    Employ 2 staff to coordinate donations within Victoria = $500.00 x 2 = $1,000

    Purchase blankets, food, medical aids = $1,500

    Helping the Homeless on the Streets

    $5000 for Renting a combined place to provide and collect resources whilst hiring mostly volunteers

    sustainable through proceeds from community donations (end of day bakery and all other donations like Salvos) + sales (selling back those donations to others more fortunate and willing to help)

    Besides part bakery + part op store, Also provides temporary shelter + part time jobs to the Homeless ppl to get them started :)
