An Interview with Nick Davies

(A Student at Green Acres who is involved in Community Outreach)

Matthew Grant and Berkcan Hikmet, Ms. Hudson class, Grade: 8

Matthew: What form of activism are you going to do?

Nick: We have these shoeboxes; we put toys and home essentials, in it. No foods or drinks since they would probably expire before it got to them.

Berkcan: When are you going to do this activism?

Nick: I am not exactly sure when we are going to do this. I suspect it is going to be around Christmas time.

Matthew: Why are you going to do this activism?

Nick: I believe that kids all around the world deserve a good Christmas.

Berkcan: Be specific, what type of stuff are you putting in the shoeboxes to perform the activism?

Nick: We are putting in toy cars, Barbie dolls (for girls). We would not put in toy guns/ slingshots because it would teach the kids receiving them, bad behaviour.

Matthew: Where are you going to do this activism?

Nick: I believe that we are going to do this in our school with Aimee Heffmann in my class.

Berkcan: Where are you delivering these packages?

Nick: Homeless people will probably come to our school (Green Acres), to pick up whatever happens to be in the box.

Matthew: What do you call this whole thing?

Nick: To be honest, I do not know if there is a name for it but what we are doing is giving back to other people. We care about other people and in our Early Act Leadership Group; we are doing a variety of activities that will put others ahead of ourselves.

Matthew/Berkcan: Thank you for this interview.

Nick: You are welcome.
