I would pitch an event with the asylum and immigration services such as LIRS to come to stevenson and give short speeches about what they do at their organizations. We would also have them invite people they work with to come and share their stories. This event would resemeble the ideas a ted talk platform. Along with these talks people from the community would be asked to bring donations with them to offer families such as clothing, food, and books. This drive would encourage members of the Stevenson and Owings Mills community to become invloved with these organizations as volunteers as well as learning about the organizations and services they provide.

I think having people come and sharing their stories is a great idea because it helps bring more awareness to the cause. Also, the idea of having people come in and donate is a good and doable idea, also very cost effective. I would like to play the role of either the financial manager or communications specialist/ event planner.
i think this is a really cool idea. This is a winning idea because this is a type of event that students would want to go to since it’s like a Ted talk. I think it would be cool to try to get a bunch of refugees and maybe some volunteers to come speak and tell their stories. I would want to play the role of lead writer/researcher or financial manager.
