Before Christmas, during our "Countries Fair," 3rd grade students learned about several ways they can make a difference at home and around the world. As promised (although a couple of weeks late), here are links to some of the websites I mentioned in class and on the flier students took home:
www.compassion.org - Sponsor a needy child in a foreign country for just $32 a month through this reputable Christian organization.
www.hannahssocks.org/ - An 8-year old girl started this organization (with help from her parents) to provide homeless people with warm socks.
www.pointhope.org - Radio host Delilah's nonprofit organization created to help starving children and adults in Buduburam, a community of Liberian refugees. Services include providing clean water, food, and education.
www.soles4souls.org/ - Donate used shoes to help kids around the world.
www.motherbearproject.org/ - Knit a bear for a child born with the HIV virus.
www.letssaythanks.com/ - Sponsored by Xerox, this site allows people to write and send a free card to a soldier.
If you know of additional ways my students might enjoy helping others, please post a comment! Thank you! :)
