Our project, Cookies for Hope, has the aim to help the victims of sexual harassment through donations that will be given to Yayasan Putih, a foundation that operates a recovery center to help victims of sexual and domestic violence by providing psychological services. To achieve this goal, we are going to sell goods, such as cookies and small cakes, to raise our funds. In April, we will be selling meringues and hot chocolates to welcome the spring season, and in May, we sell crackers and cookies to celebrate Ramadan. I am participating in this project as a part of the art team that is going to be in charge of the promotion posters, cards, and providing any art-related support.

Description
1. How do you achieve this experience learning outcomes in this stage today?
Today, we plan about what we should do further with the project's Easter and also the future plans (like the auction, which we canceled). We discussed on what would be proper to sell, although we have not reached to a conclusion, and we also began to distribute the job descriptions. This was when I end up in the art section.
2. What was important or influential in this experience today?
This experience is important, especially when we decided on the job distribution because it helps a lot with the progress of the project. The jobs became more practical and easier to do.
3. What is the memorable moment in this experience? What went well or was difficult today?
The most memorable is, again, the job distribution since it would stay like that until the end of the project. Also, I do not think anything was difficult. It was easy for us to decide on which person would be put in which section, though.
Expressing Feeling
1. How do you feel when you are doing your experience today? Where do you think this emotional response comes from?
Honestly, I do not feel any emotional response during the experience. But I think I felt relieve since I was put in the art group. This is because I feel like I can do arts better than doing anything else.
Generating idea and asking question
1. What does this experience mean to you?
This experience is like constructing a method that can make the project more practical, and I think it means a lot to me and my team, since we need to manage our time to do this project and to do other assignments.
2. How do you think your experience today contributes to the development of your IB Learner Profile attributes?
This experience required a lot of IB Learner Profile, like Inquirer and Caring. In this stage, we still think about what sub-projects we should do and how can it benefit us to reach our goal. To know this, we needed to inquire about the issue and the social situation to construct an effective plan. This also includes the feeling of caring.
