Brainstorming and Decision

As a group, we sat and thought about some causes that we wanted to make a difference in. After further research, we chose three different causes. The first cause was San Antonio's Battered Women and Children's shelter, we wanted to something for the children. Next, was the Catholic Worker Movement, this cause was for homeless families with children. They provided shelter for these families and different courses for them. Lastly, we also chose the Presbyterian Children's Home. It was a home for children who were looking to be adopted.

After coming to a consensus, we chose the Battered Women's Shelter. Their mission was the same as ours. They wanted to change the lives of needy families. We later had a change of heart during class presentations when we heard Tracy talking about her non-profit organization for teen girls who have babies and others who have vowed to be celibate until marriage. We felt that we wanted to help her because the babies need donations and the girls need skills to earn money. We wanted to help Tracy to advance her organization but also help the girls to earn money to take care of their children.
