Example 1:

For years, many students depend on the school’s drinking fountain. Aside from saving them
money, the school’s drinking fountain contains filters that make the water safe enough to drink. But
according to our research, the last time the water was tested was about three years ago by using the
drinking fountains around school, it is highly questionable that the water is still safe for drinking. Our
group has theorized that the natural wear and tear of the drinking fountain has led to the water’s
unpleasant taste. Our group, the Mosaic Alliance, aims to create several online sources that will help
promote the awareness of people involved about this problem and create an online petition with the
goal of improving our drinking fountains here in school.

Our group aims to create Change.org petition, a Facebook group and a blog to help achieve our
goals. We will be creating infographics and other related information connected to the dangers of
drinking unsafe water especially at a young age. The scope of our project is to be able to reach the
school’s administration, parents, teachers, and students to sign our petition.

We will be requiring a week to develop this project and we will start our promotion right after
we have uploaded the website. We will also be using our own resources so the funding for this project
will be close to none. Our expenses may only include the printing of campaign materials and the internet
and computer shop rentals in case we need more time outside school hours. We will also be using free
services already offered by Facebook, Blogger, and Change.org.
