You will research the following non-profit. This reaction paper is designed for you to use your critical thinking abilities, reflect on the learned class material, and apply it to a current social justice issue.
First, watch the TED video on Jessica Jacklyn (https://www.ted.com/talks/jessica_jackley_poverty_money_and_love (Links to an external site.)). What sort of leadership style is she exemplifying (cite at least one leadership theory from our class)?
Then, focus on the issue from the video. What problem is Jessica working to address? How does she go about solving it? Make sure you also identify the root causes, and her plan to address one of the causes. Also, what were some of your reactions learning about this issue and the root causes?
Next, research Kira.org from at least 3 different sources (remember to cite these sources). What is the organization about? What is its purpose? Do you believe it is addressing the social justice issue you wrote about earlier? In other words, is Akiva approach working? Why or why not?
Lastly, would you donate to Akiva.org? Why or why not?
Use SPA format. This should include a cover page, your content (3-5 pages), and a references page. You do not need to include an abstract.
