The club’s purpose is to make students aware of the issue of genocide taking place around the world.
Media teacher Sean Gaston, one of the club’s advisors, decided to start the club along with history teachers Jennifer Goss and Paul Kochanasz. Gaston was driven to form the organization after he heard about a man who organized the worldwide movement “Speak.” Gaston was so moved by what the man said that he decided to bring the cause to Fleetwood. Since Mr. Gaston has been so devoted to the Holocaust documentary project, Mrs. Goss and Mr. Kochanasz have been the main advisors.
The club talks about all of the different places around the world where genocide is occurring.
Megan Fella is the president of the club for its inaugural year, and Molly Flannery and Mallory Christman are the Vice president and Secretary, respectively.
Said Flannery, “We hope to raise money and awareness for genocide everywhere and give money to countries in need, such as Darfur.”
Darfur is one of the main talking points in the club because it is a region that has been dealing with the imminent split of its parent country, Sudan, which plans on dividing itself into two separate countries.
