"Ensure significant mobilization of resources from a variety of sources, including through enhanced development cooperation, in order to provide adequate and predictable means for developing countries, in particular least developed countries, to implement programs and policies to end poverty in all its dimensions."
"Implement nationally appropriate social protection systems and measures for all, including floors, and by 2030 achieve substantial coverage of the poor and the vulnerable."
"By 2030, build the resilience of the poor and those in vulnerable situations and reduce their exposure and vulnerability to climate-related extreme events and other economic, social and environmental shocks and disasters."
"By 2030, reduce at least by half the proportion of men, women and children of all ages living in poverty in all its dimensions according to national definitions."

Students at Our Lady Queens will spend an hour (at most) in the gymnasium exploring the various booths set up comparing their lives towards the lives of children from developing countries.
Each student will carry around a paper and pencil. On the given paper will be a chart comparing their daily routines, water consumptions and food intakes towards the contrasting lives from children in developing countries.
The general idea behind this activity is for students to truly understand the struggles and hardships faced by other children at their age. It is meant to educate them on the living conditions of these children and encourage them to donate towards the cause.
We will split the gymnasium into four main groups.
1. Food
2. Water
3. Academics & Sports
4. Health Care
Each section will contain 2-3 main booths. 8-12 booths in total
Each booth will have excessive information including important statistics and engaging small activities (trivia, guessing games, dice games etc.) provided towards students to expand their knowledge of the living conditions around the world.
With the help of student and teacher volunteers:
- Create engaging posters to hang around the school promoting the sustainable
development goal: no poverty.
- Create the booths to educate other students on the sustainable development goals
and poverty's main issues.
- Continuously make announcements promoting the cause and inform students
about the designated prize (further explained on following slides).
The implied audience is mostly focused towards young children and adolescents. The main point of "A Day In The Life Of" is to understand the unfortunate inequalities towards the living circumstances of children around the world. Therefore, as a united school that has the power to inflict a change, we must not hesitate to help our fellow communities.
World vision is a well known global relief development and advocacy program that partners with children and their communities by taking on the causes of injustice and poverty. They have also been recognized by patterning with celebrities such as Meghan Markle and James Crawford
Class that raises the highest amount of money will receive an ice cream and pizza party!
