It can be said that a budget is a statement of values. What
values underlie the way your CP gets and spends its money or resources? I am
going to answer to the best of my ability, but I have not seen their budget
directly. From our discussions it seems like they focus the budget on keeping
the facilities running and open, right now they are trying to build a new
exhibit for the children to enjoy and educate them. I would say that they value
community, respect, responsibility, and integrity. Again, this is based on my
assumptions from our weekly meetings.
Which Hallmarks if any, are expressed in the way your CP manages
budgeting and service delivery? I would the hallmarks my CP expresses: We educate
for and act on behalf of justice and peace in the world, We commit ourselves to
community service, We create community among those with whom we work and with
those we serve, We develop holistic learning communities which educate for
life.
If it’s helpful, relate this concept to your personal
experience – in what ways does your own personal budget of time and/or money
reflect your values? That is kind of a hard question for me to answer right now,
since I have been saving all the money that I have been given/received. To make
sure that I can pay my student loans off as soon as possible. I try to budget
my time in doing schoolwork, but also giving myself time to enjoy some of my favorite
activities and community service for this class.
