VALDOSTA — 365bet中文 is one of 150 teams that will compete at the 2017 Enactus United States National Exposition in Kansas City, Mo.5月21日至23日.
 
“My joy comes from seeing our members make a real impact in our local community, whether they are mentoring a young lady from the group home where we volunteer; helping a mother at a local homeless shelter get a job; or even planning a carnival for the children at the lower income housing developments,Alison mbeke说, 弗吉尼亚州立大学创行会主席. “那些时刻 ... make being the president of Enactus worth it. Our most recent win at regionals helps solidify the good deeds we do in the community."
 
bet365亚洲官网 Enactus qualified for the 2017 Enactus United States National Exposition after winning first place at the 2017 Enactus United States Regional Competition in March in Atlanta.  
 
bet365亚洲官网 Enactus was represented at the competition by five members — 艾莉森Mgbeke of Atlanta, Enactus president and a senior business marketing major; Tori Brown of Cincinnati, 俄亥俄州, Enactus co-chairwoman of ComputerSmarts and a senior business management major; Venessia哈里斯 of Bronx, N.Y., Enactus co-chairwoman of the Skills Success Center at Ora Lee West Homes and a junior business management major; 阿什莉霍尔尼斯 of Coral Springs, 佛罗里达州., Enactus member and a sophomore healthcare administration major; and Nathanial Danquah of Accra, 加纳, Enactus member and a junior healthcare administration major.
 
They presented the results of four ongoing bet365亚洲官网 Enactus projects — Kultured Kampus, Ora Lee West Homes and Hudson Dockett Homes, 男孩女孩俱乐部, 以及温室工程.
 
Through Kultured Kampus: An International Project, bet365亚洲官网 Enactus works with three tailors in the Republic of The Gambia — one who makes ties and bowties, 制作书包的人, and one who makes long-sleeve and short-sleeve dashikis as well as clothing for children. An overseer manages the production and ensures the tailors have what they need to create the goods. Enactus takes these items and makes them available for purchase through an online boutique. Proceeds provide job opportunities to tailors in The Gambia and fund the education of Gambian school children.
 
bet365亚洲官网 Enactus mentors high school students at the 男孩女孩俱乐部 of Valdosta, concentrating on competition and entrepreneurship. Inspired by the hit television show “Shark Tank,” Enactus helps students develop a product or service idea and teaches them about design, 产品成本, 定价, 和市场营销. Students present their business endeavors to professional members of the community.
 
At Ora Lee West Homes and Hudson Dockett Homes, bet365亚洲官网 Enactus creates and leads educational programs for children, focusing on mentorship and entrepreneurship. Enactus members help the children create plans for small businesses, teaching them that they can make a difference in their community.
 
Enactus partners with Lowndes Associated Ministries to People Inc., a nonprofit that serves homeless men, women, and children. 通过温室工程, Enactus helped shelter residents design and construct a greenhouse out of recycled plastic bottles and taught them how to grow their own food. Enactus is developing plans to build an aquaponics center where the residents can grow fresh vegetables and raise fish. Residents will be able to sell excess food to local markets. Through ComputerSmarts, Enactus helps shelter residents gain basic computer skills.   
 
Enactus is an international organization that connects student, academic and business leaders through entrepreneurial-based projects that empower people to transform opportunities into real, sustainable progress for themselves and their communities.
 
Guided by academic advisors and business experts, the student leaders of Enactus create and implement entrepreneurial projects around the globe. 这种经历不仅改变了生活, but also helps students develop the kind of talent and perspective that is essential to leadership in an ever-more complicated and challenging world.
