Accomplishments
Apart of IJM, International Justice Missions. IJM is a faith based organization who's mission is to protect people in poverty from violence by rescuing victims, bringing criminals to justice, restoring survivors to safety and strength, and helping local law enforcement build a safe future that lasts
A club was formed by my High School New Testament Professor, who recruited me to join this cause based on interest I shared with him while in class. We spent majority of my Sophomore and Junior year fundraising and campaigning so that we may be able to sponsor a rescue mission. We held group chapels, webinars, Kids night-in, Christmas parties, Basketball competitions, Bake Fairs, would help in concessions at sports games with all proceeds promised to "IJM Club". We continuously gave out as much information as we could across campus to ensure everyone knew the imperative importance of this cause. We were able to meet our Goal of $13,000 with a matched donation and were able to fund not one, but two rescue missions in 2018.
