There were several hands-on activities where we got to physically create or do things for organisations such as Our Big Kitchen, Days for Girls, and Thread Together. It was really exciting to be able to hear about how these enterprises help people in our community and around the world who are struggling due to poverty and inequality, and then be able to physically help them make a difference. For example, with Days for Girls, everyone had a different role in creating reusable period products to send to developing countries, where girls are missing school and life opportunities due to not having access to personal hygiene products. My personal favourite activity was at Thread Together, where we sorted through thousands of clothing items that would\u2019ve otherwise gone to landfill, as a part of Thread Together\u2019s initiative to provide clothes to those in need.<\/p>\n
