Activity B., pp. 171–172
When I was in college, I decided to start a
nonprofit organization to help people in
need in my neighborhood. There were
Q: Skills for Success
Second Edition
many people in need in the area where my
college was located, and I had gotten to
know a few of them, so my ambition was to
use my background in economics to help
them. My approach was very simple: I tried
to collect unwanted items from individuals
and businesses. I worked with a(n) network
of businesses in the area, both small and
big. Working with these businesses enabled
me to get donations of computers, books,
and office supplies, as well as clothing and
furniture. Every Saturday I set up a market
in an empty building for people to purchase
the goods. With the money I earned, I was
able to purchase items needed for start-up
businesses. I wanted to encourage people
to follow their dreams, and in the process,
to have a source of income. My first
recipient was a single mother who made
beautiful clothes in her home. With the
money I loaned her, she was able to
purchase a sewing machine and expand her
business. Soon she was selling her hand-
made clothes on the Internet. I tried to aim
my assistance at those who most needed it.
The impact I had on the neighborhood was
not only amazing, but also measurable.
There were eight new businesses that
started, thanks to my donations. I worked
under the assumption that people are not
poor by choice, and, if given the
opportunity to provide for themselves, they
would jump at the chance.
