What is the purpose of my activity?  Why did I choose this activity, this location?: The purpose of my project is to be able to help students who don’t have snacks.

Who helps me and how?: The person who is helping me out is the founder of the project and the director of the scholarship program. They tell me how the project works and how they receive help from people who provide healthy and delicious snacks to the students.

Does my project, in any way, show favoritism or discrimination?  Does it treat everyone in the same way and if not, how do I make sure that it does?: My project doesnt show any favoritism nor discrimination, the students who recieve the service are treated equally, they are able to choose any snack that they prefer and when we get snacks from some of the sponsors of the project, the food is distributed to all the students of the program.
