​Our project, Cookies For Hope aims to help the victims of sexual harassments by donating to a local charity, Yayasan Putih. Yayasan Putih is a foundation that operates a recovery center to help victims of sexual harassments by providing psychological services. To accomplish our goal, sell cookies in celebrating Easter and Ramadan. 100% of the profits were sent to Yayasan Putih. We also open donation that to be sent to Yayasan Putih.

Reflection 1
Date/Time: 17 February 2021
Venue: At home (online)
Team members present: Attendance were not taken yet.
CAS Stage: Investigation
LOs achieved:
-Demonstrate engagement with issues of global significance
-Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions
Description:
The reason for joining this project, "Cookies for hope" is that I personally interested with doing fund raising. Second of all, I wanted to help to a cause in Indonesia, especially on protecting on the victims of sexual harassments. I also think that this project will be very valuable as we could help people who need better treatments, and that I see people are more familiar and often donate things to orphanage compared to charity for victims of sexual harassments. From what I see as the need of community is that, many people in Indonesia are still un-educated about sexual harassments, hence the victims may not receive any supports of their recovery due to traditional misconceptions, negligence, and even they might feel uneasy to speak up or getting treatments.
1. How do you achieve this experience learning outcomes in this stage today?
I achieved these LOs because our project is to raise funds that will be donated to a local charity, Yayasan Pulih, to victims of sexual harassment. This is how we engaged with the issues of global significance. On the first meeting, we discuss on what to do for our project and the goal.
2. What was important or influential in this experience today?
It is important to have communication skills in this experience so that the members can understand and work on the project well. Other than that, sharing ideas and giving insights are important so that we can plan out the ideas well beforehand.
3. What is the memorable moment in this experience? What went well or was difficult today?
The memorable thing is that, our group invites a lot of students of grade 11 to join the this project, and eventually it has reached 24 students. Things that went well is that, our leader has already a rough idea for the project. However, there was still a difficulty on that day, which was to finalize the idea because some organizations initially were difficult to be reached out.
