The
idea of changing the world seems very crazy, but there are a number of small
everyday things we can do to make the world better. Community centers, parks,
libraries, homeless shelters, hospitals and schools are all places where
students can make a difference through service.
Alisia
Orosco, 10, wanted to show her love and care to the sick kids at University
Children's Hospital in Texas, where her brother had been a patient. She earned
money by doing part-time jobs and used it to buy different toys for the
children in hospital. Now she visits three hospitals every year with bags of
toys. "I hope to help as many kids as I can," Alisia says. "It
makes me happy to make them smile. "
High
school students in a town of Washington made a difference to the lives of some
needy children by building a playground at a worker's camp. They got a lot of
help from a building supply store which provided free building materials for
the project.
Teens
in New Jersey decided to offer their help at a local soup kitchen where people
with no homes can get free food. But there wasn't one. They created a one-day
soup kitchen and were able to feed 60 needy people and allow them to take the
rest home. Their efforts got more people to understand the great need of the
poor in their community. Because of their efforts and success, a permanent soup
kitchen was created with the $ 10,000 National award they received from
Newman's Own.
High
school students in Las Vegas helped 30 homeless adults prepare resumes during a
job fair they held at the area's largest homeless shelter. At least nine of the
adults later found jobs.
