Eight Days Of Hope Research Paper
Today I would like to encourage you to donate to the Eight Days of Hope foundation. Since 2005, the faith-based ministry Eight Days of Hope has rebuilt nearly 2,000 homes and done 25.2 million dollars worth of work. They have been involved in disaster recovery events all over the South Eastern United States. Eight Days of Hope was only supposed to be a one-time disaster recovery event during Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Because of God, donations, and volunteers, they have continued to provide relief to victims of disasters for the past 12 years.
I think that it is important for us to donate to this cause because they have helped ordinary families in Mississippi rebuild their lives after natural disasters. I personally know families that were

    The claim the “Era of Good Feelings...was something of a misnomer” (242) is valid due to the consequences of the economic panic that erupted in 1819. This panic was the first since Washington’s time, and it caused the new nation to face a plethora of problems, including deflation, depression, bankruptcies, bank failures, unemployment, soup kitchens, and over-crowded debtors’ prisons. The main contributor of the catastrophe of 1819 was the over speculation of land prices in the frontier lands. The involvement in this popular form of outdoor gambling caused the Bank of the United States to fall heavily into debt since the cheap price of western land caused the government to lose profit. The financial disaster that arose from the panic had a negative…

    A great surge in national pride characterized the period from 1812 to 1824 known as the "Era of Good Feelings". In the years before the war of 1812, social and economic differences between the North and the South led to sectionalism. The South was an agrarian society while the North developed an industrial society. The surge in national pride developed for many reasons. Military pride resulted from the defeat of the British at the Battle of New Orleans, and Monroe's policies toward other countries as he stated in the Monroe Doctrine. The Hartford Convention helped to unify the country by developing the one party system. The establishment of the tariffs, the bringing back of the national bank and internal improvement were all part of the development of the American system. This was an important development in the surge of nationalism experienced in "The Era of Good Feelings". Another development which contributed to a feeling of nationalism was the growth of American culture. Literature and lifestyle changes contributed to this cultural development. "The Era of Good Feelings" created a substantial growth and better lifestyle for the American people; John C. Calhoun quotes, "Let us, then, bind the rebublic together with a…

    In the book The Schopenhauer Cure, Yalom portrays a group therapist, Julius, who uses a variety of group facilitation techniques in order for the group to be run effectively. The first technique Julius uses in the group is to switch the focus from content to process. “Julius intervened by using the group therapist’s most common and most effective tactic—he switched the focus from the content to the process, that is, away from the words being spoken to the nature of the relationship of the interacting parties” (Yalom, 2005, p. 132).…

    The Pursuit of Happyness stars Will Smith as Chris Gardner and shows his struggle as a single father facing homelessness yet striving to create a better life for his family. While it could be described as a Black man’s struggle, the movie manages to leave that as a secondary factor rather than the main source of conflict. Both the generosity and the discrimination he experiences at the hands of whites around him are portrayed, as well as, the reality that poverty has no color boundaries. People of all ethnicities are shown in impoverished scenes: in homeless shelters and food kitchens. His cultural interaction includes Asian Americans as well and depicts the cultural misunderstandings and language barriers experienced between them.…

    I have come to understand that I have an innate urge to help those more disadvantaged than I. I believe that God has placed this urge in my so that I can be an instrument of his will. We all have the potential and are called to me such an instrument and that calling comes in different avenues for each person. I believe that I have found one such avenue. I learned God understands and know the potential in each person and will task him or her with only the things they have the power to handle. I pray that as the years go forth and I enter into my professional career this experience and other experience will grant me the knowledge on how to create a nonprofit organization that will help the children of Haiti gain a proper education.

    They have seven programs that simultaneously educate the community about the hunger problem in Georgia, and they also make sure that people throughout Atlanta are being fed. These seven programs include Atlanta Prosperity Campaign, Atlanta’s Table, Community Gardens, Hunger 101, Hunger Walk/Run, Kids In Need and Product Rescue Center. I had the opportunity to participate in two of their programs, which were the Hunger 101 program and the Product Rescue Center. I was first introduced to this organization by volunteering for their Hunger 101 program. This program was very enlightening, and it inspired me to make a difference in my community. This program entailed an interactive group session that educated the volunteers about the hunger problem in Georgia. The volunteers participated in a workshop where we were given the role of being a less fortunate person for a day. We were given this person’s income, how many people lived their house, and all the expenses that they had to pay for. We had to use those values to calculate how much money that person has to spend on food per day. I discovered that most of these people had no more than three dollars to spend on food for their whole family in one day.…

    In order to answer my research question, I conducted my own primary research based on the aforementioned methods of creative intervention. Part of my research was done at African Hope, an African learning center in working class Maadi. I frequented the center over the duration of the semester and decided to conduct my test by simply using different art mediums to let the children freely create whatever they wanted. Oddly enough I found that contrary to what most of the research regarding art therapy had dictated, almost none of the children depicted scenes of war etc., however this was probably largely due to the fact that the personal bond needed between the children and I did not have much time to grow strong due to constant changes…
