Our project, Cookies For Hope, aims to collect funds to be donated to a local charity, Yayasan Pulih, to victims of sexual harassment by selling cookies to the public, done in response to a quantitative increase in sexual harassment cases during the pandemic. This is our targeted audience, however it may coincide with those celebrating public holidays around the months of April and May, particularly Easter and Eid-al Fitr, as a form of ‘seasons greetings’ and in preparation of the holiday season as the project targets an ending date right before May 2021. Our purpose in donating funds is to aid local foundations in protecting victims of sexual harassment, advancing legal changes, raising awareness of the issue to the public, and taking action against it in general.The reason I wanted to join this project is because in a pandemic, I wanted to help address a cause while being confined to our homes during the pandemic. In these times of crisis it is possible that every individual is dealing with problems of their own at home, of course that is mentally draining. As such I want to help enforce positivity into the community by joining this project of producing, packaging, distributing and selling these food products, the profits of which will be directed to a charity protecting victims of sexual harassment, an issue that has become more prevalent online during the pandemic.
