The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
My idea is go to the shelters with my podcast team to educate my people about the US Society. We can create a program and have class with them about racism, discrimination, violence, rape, bullies, what they can do and what they should never do.
Who it helps and why
The courses we gonna provide will let them know and see we are all humans and we should have the same treatments with everybody, we gonna teach them rights and be happy with their feelings, be open minded and live a perfect life.
