The Sharing Place

 Hey everyone, I hope you are enjoying our blog so far! We have been able to make something amazing happen! We were just able to talk to The Sharing Place In Orilla about a hopeful collaboration for a food drive at our school! Now with that information, I’m sure you are wondering a few questions, which I will explain below with a quick summary of the question and our response.

Now what is the sharing place? The sharing place is a food bank in Oreilla that uses the community to help people with food insecurity. They help out those in the community by providing food security. This is great since that is what a food bank is meant to do, help those in a community struggling with food insecurity by offering a way for them to access healthy food.

Why do we want to help out? We want to help out communities around us, more specifically Indigenous communities. Now yes we realize that this food bank isn’t only for indigenous individuals but for an entire community, but we have also noticed that the Chippewas of Rama First Nation reserve is only around 15-20 minutes away from the food bank by car. This means that by helping out this community we will also help out the Chippewas of Rama First Nation.

And finally, how are we planning to help out? We would like to hold a food drive for this food bank. Now we need to still get full confirmation to do so but we are hoping it will be all right so we can help out the community by helping to provide healthy food security. So we will keep you updated about that.

So that's a quick update of what we have been up to lately. We have been running into a few bumps in the road (such as a fundraiser for True North Aid that has been temporarily disabled for now), but we are still hoping to connect with indigenous individuals and communities to help out in any way that we can. If you are interested in collaborating with us as an organization interested in the same cause as us then you can contact us on any of our social media accounts (which I will write below for you)

That's it for this entry, Thank you for reading,

Our First Entry

 Hello everyone! Welcome to our blog! Here we will be sharing more about how we are doing toward our goal of aiding indigenous communities and peoples. As this is our introduction to our blogs and might be the first time that you have heard from us I feel we should be able to share a bit about ourselves or more importantly, who we are and why we would like to help out the communities around us. First things first, who are we? Well, we are a small group of students, meaning there are three of us, all of whom want to make a difference in the world around us. But I mean you can get that answer by looking at our social media, but those aren’t just words. We are a small group that wants to make the world a better place, and we believe that the only way to be able to do that is to be able to help the people, more specifically communities of people. Second things second, why do we want to help indigenous communities? Well, we have been learning about what different communities have had to...

Our Change.org

 Hey Everyone! Welcome back to our blog! Today I want to talk to you about what we have set up. We had this set up before the blog but I have finally had a chance to chat with all of you about our Change.org petition. So far we haven’t been able to get many signatures but we’re hoping to turn that around. So I know you have a few questions so I’m going to explain in short detail below. So What is Change.org? Change.org is an online database. This database is filled to the brim with petitions that you can sign. With change.org you can create petitions for free for people to sign or sign them yourself for free, you can sign as many as you would like and sign from differing varieties of individuals. Now I need to let you know that you can pay to have the petition shown to more people but that isn’t necessary, you can simply skip and stay signing for free, and then from there you can choose to share the petition with another person which if you could do we would really appreciate it.
