Change is in our design. If we want it to happen, we have to go out and do it, not just sit around hoping it will happen! There are many different organizations that try to promote students to help change the world: ME 2 WE/ We Day and many others. These are great organizations but not everyone can join stuff like that. So what do we do? We do it ourselves, on our own terms.
Futures Forum just got that much better! For our summative we have this
Grand Challenge. The Grand Challenge is to help out a cause using all the
different skills we have learned. We are not just talking about helping a cause, we are actually doing it!
The cause I am helping is trying to prevent animals wondering the streets without homes, that are abused, abandoned and that may just need a bit of lovin’. Everyone has heard one of those amazing stories on how that one person saved an animal from dying on the streets. Now you need to think about all the other animals out there that needs help that haven’t gotten it. That is my Challenge. To try and make it so that no animal’s plea for help goes unanswered! To do this I will be helping out different organizations and charities that help this problem in small ways.
One way to help is through awareness, the reason behind this blog post today. I am helping out at least three different organizations and charities.

One way to help is through awareness, the reason behind this blog post today. I am helping out at least three different organizations and charities.
The first one is PAWS (Peoples Animal Welfare Society). This is an organization in Toronto that enforces the no kill policy.
This is what is said on their website: “PAWS is the only rescue, of which we are aware, that routinely tests our cats for FIV (Feline Immunodeficiency Virus – a.k.a Feline Aids), FeLV (Feline Leukemia) and FIP (Feline Infectious Peritonitis), illnesses which can be life-threatening to other cats. Because we do not want our adopters to endanger their own animal companions we incur this extra expense and effort. If any of our rescues are diagnosed with one of these diseases, we DO NOT euthanize. We arrange suitable housing on an individual basis. Most often, these cats live full, healthy, normal lives.
PAWS has never considered any animal ‘unadoptable’ and we DO NOT give up on those with special needs. We have many wonderful success stories to prove it. PAWS spares no
expense to save a life as the special souls who come to us are all individuals. We trust you will enjoy touring our website and learning how PAWS has been going above and beyond for over 35 years.” Here's their website: http://www.pawscanada.org/index.html
