4. Problems We Had To Overcome
The one of the obstacles we faced during the making of our project as choosing the right topic for our group, all were hard and challenging categories. One time , while we were working on our project, the power in the area where we were working went out. Unfortunately all the hard work we had done was not saved, and so we had to start our project all over again. It was such an inconvenience to have to repeat the entire thing. We were thinking of quitting, but we realized that quitting will not make us stronger individuals. So we pursued our project making, and theankfully, we were successful.
Stress was also one of our problems because this project was time consuming, and left us with no time for our other subjects. We were torn between prioritizing this projet or our other homework. We have eleven (11) subjects all in all, and balancing these subjects plus this project was such a challenge for us. Time was definitely an issue for us as well. We all are active student and our schedules often do not jive. We had to adjust to each other's schedules just to take time to meet each other and do the project. It was just a good thing that the work was evenly divided among us, so that even if we cannot meet, we would still be able to work.
This project is a very long and tedious project because the website editor we were using was very slow, and a bit hard to manage. Every passing day pressured us to work faster but accuracy was vital in this project as well. Disagreements and arguments were inevitable. But with team work and determination, we were able to finish our project on time.
5. Our Project Sound Bite
Children are the focus of our project. There are so many reasons as to why adults push children into child trafficking. We were alarmed by the horrible transactions that happen all around the world and taht is what urged us to make this project.
We believe that children are supposed to be nurtured, sheltered and given the opportunity to enjoy a happy childhood. They should be raised in a healthy environment and should receive the education that they deserve. That is why we came up with the acryonym
C - Children are H - Heaven sent I - Irreplaceable L - Little angels who D - Do need to be cherished and protected.
6. How did your activities and research for this Doors to Diplomacy Project support standards, required coursework and curriculum standards?
