3. Assignment questions
The questions in this activity submission are based on the following case study.
PAWS (People Against Waste Streams):
Thandi Majoro, the Executive Director at PAWS (People Against Waste Streams), has some
concerns about the upcoming PAWS Annual General Meeting: she is worried about how she
is going to present her concerns with fundraising activity over the last financial year. PAWS
was established five years ago in response to Thandi’s observation that many large
industrial companies were ignoring their toxic or potentially toxic waste streams. She also
noted that this would have a long-term negative effect on the environment if left
unchecked, as well as on the health of individuals living close to dump sites and processing
plants. Thandi is an engineer and industrial designer: she knows the industry well and feels
that now is the right time for her to tackle this issue head-on. PAWS is funded entirely
through grants and donations from a combination of sources.
