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 aim of this activity is to raise donations for the community of sexual harassment victims, which will be sent towards a local foundation that is on a mission to legalize the laws that could protect us from sexual violence, abuse, and harassment. Our methods of raising funds include selling goods in the form of foods which will be promoted through online mediums. The proceeds will partly fund our project and all of the profits will be donated. My personal goal towards this project is that I can get new experiences and get to learn how helping others who really need help gives benefits to me and to society. Of course, I want this project to run well and apply my prior knowledge and learning this project.

Generating idea and asking the question
1. What does this experience mean to you?
There are many TV shows showing this case almost every day, and many people also share their stories on their social media account as a victim. I was one of the thousand people who support the campaign that helps victims of sexual harassment since sexual harassment is something that needs to be avoided. That is the reason why I want to join this project. At the same time, I can practice skills such as marketing, sales, planning, and even the production of cookies.
2. How do you think your experience today contributes to the development of your IB Learner Profile attributes?
I think that what we can do to change and look for issues that happen around us is very beneficial to ourselves and society. From this experience, I am able to be a caring and inquirer person even if I have school tasks, I manage to spare time for people who really need some help.
