Poverty: General information

  • Poverty is essentially the situation in which an individual or group lives in minor conditions without a sufficient amount of resources including money, food, water and prominent shelter etc (Roser & Ortiz-Ospina, 2013).

  • As of 2015 the definition of poverty stands throughout those who live on less than $1.90 US per day (Okalow, 2020).

  • United nations goal is to continue to support developing countries in their journey to beat this unfortunate pandemic and provide a roof for those in need ("United Nations", 2019)

  • World Bank is a well known organization that takes authority towards those who suffer from extreme poverty around the world (Okalow, 2020).

Relative Poverty Absolute Poverty

Relative poverty considers those whose incomes are usually less than 50% of the country's total median income. The following criteria DOES change based on economic growth (Okalow, 2020).

Absolute poverty refers to those who possess an income below a certain line set by the country's government. Below the line refers to the people who are unable to access drinkable water, solid food and essential health care. The following criteria does NOT change based on economic growth (Okalow, 2020).

"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."

What We Can Do At O.L.Q.O.T.W.C.A

A Day In The Life Of: General Idea

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.

Booths

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.

Promoting The Cause

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).

Why Promote "A Day In The Life Of"

  • Engaging way to educate students towards the difficulties faced by other children throughout the world.

  • Encourage students to RECOGNIZE and understand how grateful they are to have simple access to food, health care, water etc.

  • Simple and effective way to promote the donation towards the chosen charity.

RAISING

AWARENESS

Targeted Audience

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.

Donation: World Vision Canada

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

Encourage student donations

Class that raises the highest amount of money will receive an ice cream and pizza party!

Help From The School

If the following idea is excepted...

  • It would be a huge help from the school if they could fund the ice cream and pizza party

  • Student leadership, collaboration and initiative is obviously needed to help this event come to life

  • A few teachers to help supervise and guide students on their booths.
