Context
A student decided that she would use the money that she would have spent on a graduation dress in a way that would benefit others. She decided that she would forgo a fancy dress and would wear a burlap sac to grad. Earlier in the year, the student’s class made a trip to Manila where the student visited an orphanage. She decided that she would try to raise money for the orphanage through her initiative of wearing a burlap sac to graduation.
The public learned about the modest student’s campaign and she was able to raise over $10,000. Following her graduation, the student returned to the orphanage in Manila and donated the funds to the orphanage.
