How to Make the World a Better Place There are many actions people take to try to make the world a better place. Wealthy people may make donations to a charity or build different institutions such as a hospital or park. A lot of people just recycle and plant trees to make the world a better place. Folks may even volunteer to clean up a certain environment, such as a school, public playground or just around the neighborhood. If I could make the world a better place, it would be by trying to give back to the community by helping the poor people or families. I would collect basic items for them that all humans need. I would also volunteer in couple of places and lastly raise money to donate. One way I would help the poor is by, going around my neighborhood and collecting anything old such as books, clothes, shoes, or toys that the neighbors might not want any more or planned to throw away. This way the poor are are getting basic needs that they can’t provide themselves. Also I would try to pick up any canned goods that the people are willing to give. My friends and family would help me to collect these items as well. I would set up boxes in the community club house so people can drop of their old jackets and things. There would be signs around the neighborhood too saying to please donate old clothes or shoes to the club house, so people are aware and more involved in helping the poor. Another way I could help the needy and hungry families is by volunteering in the soup kitchen or volunteering in places where they have food drives and pass out canned goods. By volunteering I’m being like an extra hand, the more we are involved the better it is. Not only would I be serving in the kitchen, I would also cook meals for the poor and bring it down to the soup kitchen. The food I would prepare would be cost friendly but also nutritious such as baked beans, corn, mashed potato, and vegetable soup.

    Each year in November I volunteer at The Basket Brigade. We assemble boxes full of food for the less fortunate to have for Thanksgiving/the holiday season. After assembling the boxes we each take 4-5 and deliver them to anyone who has requested them. This opportunity is very eye opening, it shows you how much a little kindness goes and how thankful people are that you care. I have also volunteered at Feed My Starving Children for the last few years. This organization allows you to help pack food to send to children across the…

    I very much enjoy doing things for others. I have previously utilized a servant evangelism method with my family. We have RAK (Random Acts of Kindness) days where we will do random acts of kindness such as leave quarters at a laundromat, pay for a person’s meal in the drive-thru, leave money at massage chairs in the mall, leave cards made by the children in hospital waiting rooms, etc. All of these things are left with a note that says this is a random act of kindness, and to pay it forward. There are also Bible verses and tracts explaining salvation that we leave as well. While I realize this is a “secret” type of giving, we are still planting a seed in the…

    City Team Reflection

    Not only was I inspired to help the homeless, I learned new cooking skills. For example, I never knew how to cut a chicken or chop melons. Also, every one deserves to be assisted in any way. I am thankful to experience serving my community. I learned that it is not the homeless fault for being in the position they are today. So many unfortunate outcomes could have resulted them to be homeless such as, being laid off. San Jose is a very expensive city to live in, which means it is even harder for families and individuals to live in. The homeless are hungry every day, and does not have the energy to function to apply for a job. City Team also impacts the homeless lives by providing them shelter and unlimited food not only for the day but the next couple days by giving them extra snacks. Although feeding the homeless does not solve hunger, organizations like City Team helps the homeless to be able to eat a full meal and impacts their…

    This week the locations that I researched were places, areas, and environments, we will help out with. Also, I drove around town and found a couple of parks where homeless people live. Really soon, these parks that I found we will hand out bags of food containing sandwiches, fruits and bottles of water. The homeless we assume need help with food and clothing to survive, so to achieve our goal is to help them out one step at a time. The progression of this project is quite difficult because of David and I schedules are different, so we will make plans to meet each other to progress on our project. The motives that we need to accomplish next week are giving out our hand crafted bags of food. Some ideas we need to plan are our schedules and anything…

    I volunteer in my community whenever I get the opportunity. For example, I helped students get to school safely and I helped out around the school. I volunteered at the public library to help younger children. I now see it is hard work to get children focused and help them not make a big mess, but I enjoyed helping them in any way I can. Volunteering at the public library also taught me about patience. Not everything went exactly how I planned it out, but at the end it still worked out. My time at the library also taught me about effort.…

    Though there are many homeless people in New York as well , it was a different feeling because it was mostly children and they were living as if they just needed a hand. Some looked as if a vacuum had sucked up all the meat on their bodies, others looked as if they were straining to live their last day. As I walked passed them, I realized that tears began to fall from my eyes. It was so heartbreaking and painful watching them begging and living as if they were nothing. I gave a few some dollar bills and I talked to them just to show them that they aren't alone and that there are people out there who actually care and appreciate them. After seeing them, I told my cousin to take me to a place where I can just talk to kids my age or under and spend some time with them. Especially after the earthquake that happened on January 12, 2010, I felt as if it was right to give to people that were hurt and even kids who lost their parents and had nowhere to…

    Lastly another way to help is to respect the homeless as individuals, by giving the homeless the same courtesy and respect you would accord your friends, your family, and your employer. Treat them as you would wish to be treated if you were in the same situation. You could also, help with kindness. We can make quite a difference in the lives of the homeless when we respond to them, rather than ignore or dismiss them. Try a kind word and a smile.…

    Throughout my life it has been an instinct to help out underserved populations. In Boys Scouts, I would volunteer to organize soup kitchen and food drives. I took this mentality into my collegiate career where I worked to bring meaningful aid to those in need. While I was vice president of my rugby club, I made an effort to have everyone in the club perform some form of community service. We worked with the animal shelters and local food pantries to bring care to those in need, all the while listening and developing ways to effectively help…
