Red Cross


The American Red Cross has helped millions of people since it started in 1881. The Red Cross aids those who are in dire need of medical supplies. They also help foreign nations after natural disasters like tsunamis and hurricanes. Not only that, but they also collect money and food for impoverished nations. The Red Cross is truly a life saving organization.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

BIKE GUY??


Don Pearson, “Bike Guy” in Colorado donates his time making bicycles. Don Pearson helps the abused and neglected children at Denver’s Mount Saint Vincent home. “Bike Guy” works for an organization called Denver Bicycle Touring Club and he spends many of his days in a week donating his time. Another amazing thing that they do is that they use donated bikes instead of new bikes and I am really proud that many people have donated bikes to this foundation. So I want to thank these people.

Golden retrievers doing good

What I think I have found what I think is really interesting is that dogs can donate blood to Golden retrievers so they can go out and help the blind or the people that can't hear that well.

American Red Cross

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!

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.
