Our project, Cookies for Hope, is done by selling goods, in particular, various sets of assorted snacks and cookies to raise funds that will be donated to a local charity, Yayasan Pulih, to victims of sexual harassment. It is our way to support the campaign. Our intended target audiences are the general public. For the Spring greeting, we just want to make something new and special so people can feel warm inside like the spring season. This project was carried out from February to the end of April, and now our team has finished donating the profits from the sale of goods.

Since elementary school, I have participated in various programs to make, sell and donate handicraft. Influenced by my parents who actively participate in relief efforts, I also felt that it was essential to give help to the victims. Also, for personal reasons, I was very interested in sexual and domestic violence. I have been consistently donating to UNICEF and other organizations, so I thought this project could be of great help to victims who are suffering.
