Helping With Health
Blogged by: Samantha, Alyssa, Jarrett, Zach
Our group is focused on helping with the UN Good Health and Well-being goal, which is aimed to help everyone(regardless of age, sex, race, etc), achieve good health, and a good state of being(mental health).
To help we are organizing a blood drive for students aged 17+, and the teachers of Nottawasaga Pines S.S. This blood drive will promote helping hospitals, as well as helping others that are suffering from diseases or need a medical procedure.

We are also planning a Dance-A-Thon for Angus Morrison E.S. to support heart health. The dance will get the children moving, increase their heart rates, improve their mental state but it also raises money for charities.
The charities we are supporting are the Thirst Project, which for 25$ will give a person water for life, and AVERT, an organization helping to prevent AIDS/HIV.
These actions help support the UN goal by raising awareness, as well as promoting healthy living.
I'm really excited for your group- your ideas are awesome! I didn't know that it takes so much blood donations for different medical procedures... I hope that I will have the chance to donate!
