Major Assignment 3 Instructions Overview

Major Assignment 3 Instructions Overview You have decided that 5 years F

You have decided that 5 years from now, you will spend 12 weeks implementing a project to provide humanitarian assistance to people in your local community. At that time, you will take a break from work or retirement and spend at least 30 hours per week for 12 weeks engaged in this project. You will be in charge of your own project working directly with people in need, not simply volunteering with an existing organization. In the 5 years between now and the start of the project, you will devise a plan and prepare funding.

For your project, you will identify a group of local people to assist with a need from the provided list. You will develop a project that has the potential to improve their lives in both the short and long run. Choose one project from the list below to use for Major Assignment 3:

  • Education — an afterschool tutoring program, school supply distribution, day camp for kids, vocational training
  • Health Care — pop-up clinic for vaccines, general health care, health care awareness programs (mental health, nutrition, maternity care), mental health support groups, helplines/call centers
  • Community Improvement — home rehabilitation, community safety program
  • Other Service Projects — food distribution, clothing distribution, companion program for seniors, homelessness assistance

You will contact experts or representatives from local churches, charities, non-governmental and/or governmental organizations to gather information about local needs and resources necessary to run your project.

Your project must specify achievable goals and how success will be measured. Identify the people, resources, and materials needed to provide your service. Your project will include the assistance of other people—recruited volunteers, paid experts, or both. Use the Microsoft Word template to explain the details of your project implementation in 1,500 to 3,000 words, thoroughly addressing each required point. The goal is to demonstrate thoughtful planning, covering objectives, target population, assistance strategies, management, timeline, assessment, ethics, and reflections. Incomplete or vague responses will be scored lower.

Each section should be addressed individually, cross-referencing where appropriate. Support your claims with evidence. Your final write-up should be well-structured, clear, and comprehensive, with minimal need for follow-up questions.

Ethics and Christian Worldview Analysis

My project embodies the Judeo-Islamic-Christian principle of loving one’s neighbor by providing compassionate and equitable assistance. It also aligns with broader ethical frameworks emphasizing human dignity, respect, and justice. By engaging with diverse community members, the project fosters understanding and bridges cultural differences. The initiative seeks to recognize the intrinsic value of all individuals, promoting dignity and human worth in line with Christian teachings.

I consulted local leaders, community organizers, and service providers to identify pressing needs and viable solutions. The selected project addresses [specific need], considered compelling due to [personal connection, urgency, community input]. Alternative avenues for aid include existing government programs or other NGOs; however, this project aims to fill gaps and offer targeted support.
