What I did and what I learned about my topic, activism, social justice work or civil and human rights work from this fieldwork?[:: :

Last week in school, my group presented our social justice presentation 101. this was our first attempt at sharing initial research with our peers. I was a little nervous because our slideshow was so long, and we did not want the other students to get annoyed because it was so long. I have a great team, nonetheless, and we put in a lot of work. I think child welfare is a problem that isn’t talked about enough, especially the discrimination in the system. More people need to speak out about this problem. I feel like researching this has been a challenge because all I have found are statistics and not individual experiences. Our group has recently received an email from the organization: New Alternatives for Children. I am very excited and we are able to speak to the executive director!
