For our highschool, we took a day for only charity, we went to local food drive and helped serve and make it for the homless.

The teachers gave us extra credit on our lowest grade on a test, if we commited to not eating for a whole day. 24hrs. In a way to grow awareness of those who have no food. We raised money for evecry hour we didnt eat, and it went back to the disaster in darfur. The next few days, we as a whole school watched documentries on the geniside, and homeless in america.

I was so touched, i went throught th whole thing, and we are doing it next year!!

Good luck, hope this gave you a few ideas..

p.s try relating things that have some familarity to them. Like cell phones, and clothes, starbuck, etc. it just mght grab their attention!

if someone isn’t interested in something then their mind is probably made up and you can’t do much to change it. i usually take very macromanagerial group think approaches to attempting to change peoples minds. if you get groups instead of individuals its often easier to influence people — when you sway one person the idea catches on with the group. this doesn’t work with all personalities though.
