• Our Cause- Who? What? Where?: 

Our main purpose is to shape stronger individuals, neighborhoods, communities and countries by empowering and educating the youth to overcome their challenges and arming them with the opportunities they need to excel and succeed.

• Our Actions- What we do and how:
Our work is about dedicated service and volunteerism by gathering and donating necessities such as food, clothing and school supplies, providing emotional and psychological support and carrying out projects and programs for the underprivileged and vulnerable individuals, especially the children and young adults in the communities.
We feel that every young person has a valuable and important leverage point in this mission.

• Our Impact- Changes for the better:
GOFA's ultimate mission is to significantly reduce poverty by creating opportunities for the underprivileged youth (and those who desperately need our help) through education, sports, training, job opportunities, etc, in order to foster vibrant and positive individuals, communities and society by extension.

People have the right to express how they feel about something they don’t feel comfortable with, whenever they feel like. Sexuality can be toward the same, opposite or both sexes- it is all about one’s choice. We should only be attracted to the opposite sex. Support and protection should be provided for those who made choices contrary to that of society, however they are just as equal. If they are equal to us, they need not to be provided with special support and protection. 1.      My beliefs about sexuality and equality: Found in the above table. 2.      The alternative beliefs of anot

Competing Beliefs; My Beliefs vs. Their Beliefs- Volunteering

  These beliefs were clearly related to volunteerism, the qualities one must possess and how we see ourselves when helping others. I believe that we actually have a choice as to whether or not we want to volunteer in whatever capacity possible, however someone expressed that we have no choice and we must do it.  Also, the main important aspects of my life differed from that of the other individual to some extent.
