Red Cross

The incident that I liked best is Red cross.
Red cross is occurring 24/7 worldwide, to help victims of natural disasters. It Has been helping people for 20+ years. When hurricane Katrina happened, it destroyed so many peoples lives, but Red Cross was there to raise them back to where they were before the hurricane. Red cross is a foundation that is determined to not let natural disaster ruin peoples lives. That is why Red Cross is my favorite foundation that is helping the world out every day.

ASPCA

Good Deeds in the World! By:Brian G

My favorite article was the ASPCA is a national foundation. It is my favorite because many animals have been saved. Also many animals have been given a second chance. In my opinion the ASPCA is a great foundation. Hopefully more people in the world help the ASPCA to save the animals.

A WORLD OF GOOD DEEDS

My Favorite Good deed as described in my PowerPoint is Recycling because it has the most potential of all the deeds. I mean this by saying it can change the world if you had one recycling can, box, whatever in every person’s home, the world would be cleaner. Yes, that’s a good thing. Recycling can change how we live if you just give it a try. Thank You.

Good all over the World

We have noticed that only bad thing on the knew so we decided to write a blog on there good thing we have found on the internet I found a lot of good stuff, a lady named Juliet Neal-Boyd and Dick Green citizens from Germany have been delivering food and relief aid to people and animals who’s homes have been wrecked by the wild fires in Germany. You might think that this is bad news but the fact that these people are doing such a good thing for other people it heart touching I also like what they did because not only are they helping people there helping animals too and animals probably needed help too.

Acts of God disaster relief

The acts of God disaster relief is my favorite site that I have discovered. It is my favorite site because a lot of organizations only help with certain areas of disasters but this organization helps with every kind of disaster. One of the major areas they help in is building new houses for people who have got caught in hurricanes and tornados. This organization is also very helpful because if someone is in need of money to pay bills for the family they also help with that. That is why The Act of God disaster Relief is my favorite volunteer site.

Pond Sanitation

Pond Sanitation

The sanitation workers in Wheat Ridge have been working very hard to sanitize the Greenbelt lakes and ponds. Because of this the ducks, water snakes, and turtles are in a much happier environment to live in. I found this information at http://denver.yourhub.com/News_Archive.aspx?hub=WheatRidge. I find this article amusing because it is a very generous thing to do for the animals. Before this the ponds and lakes were covered in discussing algae and litter. Kaylee O., Greenbelt lake

Make a Wish

Make A Wish Foundation By Alexandrea N.

My favorite organization is Make A Wish Foundation. They grant wishes for people with life treating 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 throe 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 tooken back to the hospital and redid 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 their charity.

NBA Cares

NBA Cares
By: Klaudia S.

As we all know NBA cares donates their time about every day. The average donations that they give to charity is about 100 million dollars. They also give children the chance to have fun with them. Another thing they help out with is help to make homeless people homes. This is big because most of the people they help out is either poor or have kids and can not afford houses. So that is how NBA Cares helps out the nation.

Looking for the good

One very brave restaurant employee saved an elderly lady from what could have been a very sad and fatal death. She was in her car when a lamppost fell and crushed her car. This accident occurred on Broadway in Bayonne, right in front of the Lighthouse restaurant. Seconds after the light fell Heshan Fahmy pulled the lady out from her car just before the car burst into flames. This person saved a life without being asked I think that was truly amazing.

Big Brothers and Sisters

My favorite good thing that I found would have to be the child adoption because no child deserves to be alone because that would just be really bad don’t you think because think about your childhood alone. So that is why my favorite thing that’s good that I found is the child adoption home called Big Brothers and Sisters. They are doing really good things for these kids and I think that is really nice of the people that are spending time with them so that is what my favorite good deed that I found.

Hero saves woman from car that was seconds from explosion

Hero saves woman from car that was seconds from explosion

In Bayonne, New Jersey, a Honda Pilot came flying past a stoplight on Broadway and 31st St., then slammed into a car driven by an elderly woman and finally stopped after knocking over a streetlamp.
Then, Hesham Fahmy, a restaurant employee nearby ran to the car containing the elderly lady. The moment he pulled the woman out of the car, the car burst into flames.
After the accident, the owner of the restaurant came to have a look. She said ,”There was a truck on the sidewalk, but it wasn’t tipped over or anything. And, there was a car, and it was crushed, and it was in flames.”
Everyone seemed to be OK after the accident, although the woman was taken to Bayonne Medical Hospital.

Habitat for humanity

My favorite example of good was the Habitat for Humanity. They did such a generous thing. In Aurora they built 11 homes for the people who deserve homes. They were determined to finish in 7 days. It was really nice and good. Even Fox reporter Dan was there and took a report on the good deed. Those people must be very thankful for Habitat for Humanity to do something so great! They must be really happy that they got a new house.

ANIMAL RESCUE HELP

People state wide are trying there best to help save animals, and put them out of their cages, and into good homes. People come and volunteer everyday to walk, feed, and entertain animals. The problem is that people keep breeding there animals (not getting them neutered) and then bringing them all to the shelters. And not everyone comes and wants to adopt an old cat or an old dog, that’s not playful or active anymore. So the old animals end up in the shelters for a long time then being put to sleep because no one wants him or her.

The American red cross is working to help the poor and sick kids in Africa. The American red cross can be found in any state across the United States. If we donate more money to them they can help a lot of people in Africa dieing of hunger each and every day. The American red cross also provide food for the dieing people in Africa.

http://www.freepoverty.com/

Free Poverty is an organization that donates water to countries in need, thanks to you playing their game! On their site, there is a geography game, where you have to find cities and landmarks on the map. The closer you get to the city, the more water you donate! It’s a great way not only to help the planet but strengthen your geography skills as well. All of the money they donate is received from ads on the site, so every time you log on, they receive money for donations. It’s a very easy (and addicting!) way to save the planet. Trevor

Make A Wish Foundation

The make a wish foundation is a nonprofit organization that grants wishes to kids with life threatening medical conditions. If kids want to meet someone, be someone, go somewhere, or get something, they can wish for that. People can volunteer or donate money to the organization. Make a Wish started in 1980 when a 7-year-old boy with leukemia, wished to be a police officer. Everyone noticed how happy the little boy was and that it seemed to ease the pain and sadness of his sickness. They decided they wanted to make other children’s wishes come true also.
