Past Actions
Poverty
School Supplies: With your classmates, put together a package of colorful school supplies for another classroom in need in your town. New crayons, markers and other goodies will help your class make new friends and spread a positive message of giving.
Education
Be a Mentor: Offer to help a teacher of a younger grade at your school during recess one day a week. You’ll make a contribution to younger kids and inspire other students to action.
Health
Malaria Awareness: Malaria is one of the leading causes of death for children in developing countries, but most people don’t know much about it. Research causes of malaria, then give a presentation to your class.
Sustainable Development
Save Water: This week, save water and energy by taking a shorter shower, a bath that’s less full or by turning off the tap when you brush your teeth.
