The one on my Powerpoint favorites was the AMW or Americans Most Wanted John Walsh because he has caught a total 1029 fugitives in the world but many are still out there. I liked this one cause it was the one with most detail. As a John Walsh continues on capturing jail breaks And fugitives He will be work until there is justices through out the world and if a could person could get always from John Walsh that would be lucky .

Making wishes...
By Alexandrea N.
My favorite organization is Make A Wish Foundation. They grant wishes for people with life treatening medical conditions. They have been granting wishes since 1980. The first wish they ever granted was to Christopher James Greicius whose wish was to be a police officer. The family had a friend who was a police officer so, he granted the wish. The police officers’ name was Tommy Austin. So on April 29th 1980 the wish was granted. Christopher got to ride in a police helicopter, which also flew him to headquarters. There three cruisers and a motorcycle greeted him before meeting with the DPS command staff. There, Chris was sworn in as the first honorary DPS patrolman in state history. The giving didn’t stop there they mad him a custom uniform and the seamstress worked through the night to finish it. On May 1st they gave it to him and had motorcycles proficiency test so he could earn wings for his uniform. Chris did an outstanding job and passed with his battery-operated motorcycle. May 2nd Chris was taken back to the hospital and re-did his room so he could see his uniform helmet, and “Smokey-Bear” –style campaign hat. DPS motor officer Frank Shankwitz presented him with Chris’ wings and he took them with a smile, which lit up the room. Sadly the following day Christopher James Grecius passed away, but gladly before his wish came true. They get their money from people donating to the

Make a wish foundation
Since 1980 the make a wish foundation has made the lives of thousands of children a whole lot better. The first wish was on April 29th 1980. The kids name was Chris Greicius he was getting treated for leukemia all he wanted to do was be a police officer. Officer Tommy Austin had become friends with Chris and his mom. Chris’s progress dropped, so officer Tommy scheduled a day with the officers for Chris. They stared out taking a tour of the city in a department helicopter. Chris had a great time but his fun didn’t stop there he also got a tailored uniform. On May 2nd Chris had his room in the hospital arranged so everywhere he looked he saw his officer gear. The next day Chris passed away. Kids wishes vary from being a princess to meeting the famous Carlos Santana, Donald Trump and Jennifer Garner. All their wishes came true.

Looking for the good
In my searches for good I found an organization called S.O.S children villages. They help children and provide help for the village families. They donate school supplies, food and other necessities they might need .you can donate your time or something as simple as putting a footer on your e-mail address. This is a worldwide organization. It is so awesome how they help and all their donations and money go to the people and give them help with what they need. You can also adopt children that have no parents. There are thousands of children that could use a home and a family that loves them. They help children until the children can provide for themselves. This organization really made an impression on me.

One of the articles I read about was about a mail woman who was delivering mail when a kid dropped into her arms. In Albany, New York a mail woman was walking on the sidewalk getting ready to deliver a letter to a house. But while she was walking a one year old girl fell out of a second story apartment building. While the mail lady was walking by the one year old girl fell out of the window and into the mail women’s arms. Later in the day the paramedics checked the baby and there were no injuries and the mother was filed with no charges because she stated she put her baby on the bed and left the window the bed was against open.

The reason why people don’t do good to help others and the world in unknown. But the reason people do good things is out of the kindness of their hearts. When you hear on the news its all about the bad things going on, but you never hear about the good. I would like to change that by telling you about the good, not the bad. There are many things you can do to change the world and others positively. There is an organization called the Samaritans Purse and they give gifts and sanitation products to children in other countries. You can help children around the world by buying gifts for their age group and hand towels, toothpaste, and a toothbrush. Send it in a wrapped box and bring it to the Samaritans Purse. They will then take the presents to other countries and give them to the children around Christmas time. If everyone does at least one good deed we could change the world one little step at a time.

Rescuing the living
I have been researching about the good in Wheat Ridge, Colorado, and good around the USA. Today, I will tell you about the good in Wheat Ridge and saving the animals in Wheat Ridge. First of all, people have been saving animals from a hurricane called Hurricane Katrina. Many animals were sick by the time the people have saved these animals, but it feared me by the time I have herd that at least four kittens were terribly sick by the time they got to Wheat Ridge. I was scared that these kittens would not make it to Wheat Ridge and would eventually die. At last after the kittens were healed, they were given away to their adoptable homes, also knowing that none of the kittens have died.
The next thing I have also researched is that people that have abused animals which has broken my heart to hear that these animals are hurt and that they need someone new to take care of them. Knowing that I have researched about saving animals that have been abused from there careless owners. I have known a woman from Kansas City, Missouri who has saved many animals, knowing that she has saved five dogs and lots of cats, which the animals have been taken away from their careless and cruel owners. I have a destiny just like her to help all the animals in Wheat Ridge and all the other cities in Colorado. That is the dream I am following and the path I walk to. The animals are waiting now to find someone special to save them and to care for them as long as they live.
There was also something I have herd that surprised me more then
ever and that was hen the Humane Society Rescue Organization have dedicated animal shelter volunteers! This made me very happy to hear how much animals will be saved, and without them, the animals would die each year. This made me want to be a part of them to save animals each year. I would just love to go around constantly looking for all the dogs and the cats to rescue and to give it food, water, care, shelter, and the most important thing, love. That is what destiny I am taking and he path I will follow because animals need love and protection too.

Group Goes around USA and does good deeds
This group has been going around the US helping people and trying to teach people to help out as well. The trip has made them low in money and it is hard to go places but they are still fighting for what’s right. They are with a homeless blind man who has to play the guitar for money. Four of the members agree to play the guitar and raise 20 dollars each. This is going to be hard but they still want to do it. When they started the blind man dropped his quarters and tried to pick them up. The girl in the group was going to but a man in the crowd of people helped him out. That’s when they thought they really were making a difference. This paragraph is by

Taking the Heat
In Wheat Ridge Colorado Scott Doney has been a volunteer firefighter for eight years. Scott is a local scientist who specializes in numerical modeling in the Wheat Ridge area. Scott wanted to do a little more for the community. Scott says he has 400 on average calls a year for his assistance, from fires and car wrecks to cats stuck on roofs. Scott took some 300 hours training his fist year to get certified and 50 later each year on to be able to stay a volunteer fire fighter. Scott’s most memorable moment happened just a few years ago, when he was called to help a woman who was in cardiac arrest and was considered medically dead. With the help of the paramedics they were able to bring her back and she was fine afterward. Now Scott has to cut back a little on his volunteering since he has a wife and son now. I think Scot and other volunteer firefighters like him deserve a pat on the back for all their hard work and help.

Charity Using Backpacks to spread
Freedom of education
Jana Dombrowski was wondering about her friend stationed in Iraq. She always wanted to make a difference. So she decided to help kids in Iraq who had very little money get an education. She did that by providing backpacks and other school supplies such as pencils crayons and other supplies they might need. I think this is a wonderful thing she has done if I could I would do the same.

I chose the American Red Cross as one of the good things in the United States to write about. They helped out with Hurricane Katrina in Louisiana in August 23, 2005. They help wherever they can in the world. Whether there is a Hurricane or an Earthquake, whether it’s in China or Great Britain the American Red Cross is there. The American Red Cross does not only help in the U.S. but all around the world! Animal Liberation Front
Animal Liberation Front
This organization is helping around the world to stop animal testing and cruelty. There are millions of animals every day being used for these cruel actions.

Operation Teddy Bear
Operation Teddy Bear
Teddy bears might be a novelty for most, but for some it might be something just out of there reach. The “Operation Teddy Bear” group takes in old stuffed animals and donates them to people in need. Some of these people who qualify are elderly people in senior citizen homes, and young children whose parents don’t have enough money for toys. This organization is completely volunteer and takes in all animals, not just teddy bears. I think this is a great organization because it’s easy to donate to and they can make many people happy.

Too much bad news
In our world where the “bad” news sells, we seem inundated with the stories of violence, death, fear and reasons to worry. Our class has decided to look at this situation and search for the “good” things people do. We do not want to be subjected to the fear that penetrates our news media. Our class went in search of good people doing good things as a counterbalance the bad news we always hear. We are not afraid, we have found so much good, that our perceptions are changing. Read about what we have found, our reports about all the good around us.
