Girl Scout Gold Award

Pre-College Topics High School Cafe

<p>I’m currently a junior in high school, and I am working on ideas for my Girl Scout Gold Award Project. I really want to do something involving medical facilities, treatment, or care packages because I am very interested in pursuing medicine and treatment in the future.</p>

<p>Who I want to target: impoverished people (nationl and/or international) who don’t have access to quality healthcare or facilities</p>

<p>Where I want to target: my local community is ‘well-off’ so I was looking more into an international level, especially since my church has connections to El Salvador and a Native American Reservation in Washington state. </p>

<p>Why medicine: I know I’ll work hard and puruse my project with optimal interest because I plan on pursuing medical treatment in the future. </p>

<p>Time limit: I want to start fundraisers/organization for my project in the next month. </p>

<p>I’ve been researching organizations such as Doctors without Borders & Red Cross, but most don’t give options for student volunteers and such.
Ideas would be greatly appreciated (:</p>

<p>Hey fellow Girl Scout!!!
^__^</p>

<p>To do a gold award you need to understand the gritty nitty nature of what you wnat to do.
You have mega great ideas, but you have not said what it is that you want to do to help these people.</p>

<p>Do you want to start a teen organization that makes care packages? Do you want to start a clinic were teens/adults whatever can help?</p>

<p>You need to know the fine details of what you want to do, even if you do not have all the means of doing it as the moment.</p>
