PAWS it's a bake sale

Hey I’m Nasya Ie and I attend at Science Leadership Academy. Welcome back to my last blog! If you did not read my first and second blog post, please do so. In both of my blog posts, I talked about industries harming animals. The first blog post talks about everything wrong about industries harming animals and how they don’t treat them right. That is leading up to my second post, how I made a survey. Experiencing people taking my survey and seeing the responses I got. Also, this is going to be my third blog post and this is about my Agent of Change. What is an Agent of Change? An Agent of Change is what I am going to do in order to solve this situation, how am I going to help.

My Agent of Change is to have a bake sale in SLA and outside of SLA, to fundraise for PAWS shelter. My bake sale was on June 5th. Why PAWS shelter? Well, PAWS shelter is a small animal shelter and it is an non-profit organization, which means that the government does not provide money to the shelter. They depend on the donations they get. I am going to step up and donate to PAWS. Every donation makes a huge difference. A picture below shows how much money makes a difference.

As you can see little amount of money counts and different amount of money can help these animals in the shelter. It can provide a lot for little amount of money. I want this to become a trend, everyone donating to shelters. This will help animals and the shelter, too. I am going to take the time and effort to fundraise for PAWS and hopefully more shelters.

As you can see by the photo this was my bake sale. What did I make at the bake sale? Advice from Betty Crocker website, “Bake and sell small treats like doughnuts and mini muffins while the sale is in full swing.” So, I baked Cake drops (cake pop without a stick), Brownies and cupcakes. We raised over $100! To be honest I wasn’t expecting to get over 50 dollars, but I did it! But I couldn’t do it without the people who supported me and my bake sale.

My experience of having a bake sale in SLA was nerve wracking for me. I was worried that people would not buy things from my bake sale, but people did! I am glad that I got to experience this to make a change happen. I get to do bake sale and provide money for PAWS, which is amazing.

I emailed PAWS about the donation

So as you can see by the picture above I have emailed Director of Development. I asked her about the donation and what I did to produce the donation for PAWS. I am so glad that I got to support PAWS and for everyone who supported the bake sale.

This project was an experience, is was enjoyable. I got to learn so much about industries harming animals and its horrible ways. Also, doing an original research, making a survey on what people know about my topic. Then, me having a bake sale to raise money for PAWS shelter. If I got to do this again I would be a bit more organized, so everything is smooth, also credits to my mom for helping me for my bake sale. Even though this project is coming to an end, I still want to raise awareness and try to solve this problem and I believe we can do this together to stop this problem.
