"Elementary Students In California Send Clothes To Needy Kids" - Natalie H. - Class 2

Elementary students help out other kids their age by donating clothing. This article was featured today (2/24/14) on Yahoo! News from the Tribune.

And elementary class from Louisiana gives clothing to kids their age in California as to taking part in the Teach for America program. The TFA an American non-profit organization whose mission is to "eliminate educational inequity by enlisting high-achieving recent college graduates and professionals to teach", and allows contributors to help their corporation grow. So far I'd say they've succeeded, having our generation on their side.

  4. It's always nice to hear about people helping one another. It's also important to teach kids to do this at a young age.
