Poverty is not an accident. Like slavery and apartheid, it is man made and can be removed by the action of human beings. - Nelson Mandela
Our solution to this problem was to raise money by selling sodas at our school's Valentine's dance. We then donated the money to Five.12.

"What am I going to do with all this soda."- Daniel Reveles-2019
The money that we earned from selling the sodas has been donated to Five.12. Five.12 is a non-profit foundation that gives kids food on the weekends. Students get free food at school but have no food on the weekends.
"Five.12 Foundation is a not for profit foundation. it started with a young girl giving all that she had, $5.12, to help save the life of someone she barely knew. We consider 'the worth of each soul' to be great and equal throughout the world and are constantly looking for new ways to use what we have to bless the lives of others." - Five.12
