My Nineth Act

This act may seem incredibly insignificant, but for it to work I need your help. This act doesn't require your money, any transportation, or much commitment. This act is to simply decide to get involved. There's a website I've found that helps end world hunger while helping you learn. The website is:
http://freerice.com/
So what's the catch, right? Well that's what so great about this website, the only catch is that you actually have to learn. The way it works is this website lets you choose from diverse subjects and many, many levels according to what's suitable to you. A question is posed and you may choose from four answers and for every answer you get right, 10 grains of rice is donated. Spread this link around! It's a fantastic and easy way to study and help!

My Eighth Act

Volunteer For a Cause You're Passionate about!

For my number eight, I completed a volunteer application. While the huge step in making a difference in others' (and your own) lives is volunteering for a good cause, the cause itself is just as important. Finding a cause that you're passionate about helps you stay motivated throughout your volunteering period (however long that may be) Now, as for my application. I've submitted a form to CAT (Cat Adoption Team) in Sherwood; something I've wanted to do since I first saw the place (when I was about 7). To add to the fun, I'll be volunteering with my cousin! What greater motivation is there than volunteering for fun and with a friend? This is just another fun way to get involved. :)

My Fifth Act

Giving thanks! The best way to show you care is to help others with their problems!

For my Thanksgiving act, I have donated turkeys to the homeless...
On Sunday, November 14, I went to my church. After service, my mother, sister, and I hurried downstairs after making an announcement about when we would be leaving to donate the turkeys.
"Why are we doing this?" you ask, or maybe "How did you get involved?", well the previous week after service there was an announcement that one of the women was gathering any turkeys to donate to the homeless at St. Francis's church, in Portland. Many people couldn't, but some would the following week. One problem for them! The woman couldn't attend the following Sunday due to a prior engagement, so my mother and I volunteered. Low and behold, we found ourselves collecting the turkeys on the 14th to donate.
The total of turkeys donated that day ended up being eight. Two from my family, six from others. Pretty good, right? A nice amount, I believe.

Remember: Sometimes, when you keep your eyes open for opportunities to volunteer, they just won't show up. When those times come, try taking charge of the moment and organizing an act. :) Happy Thanksgiving!
