A When I read the article about poor1 children in Africa, I wanted to help by raising money. I discussed the idea with my classmates. We decided to raise money by walking around our local park in pyjamas! We called the project Sleepwalking. We went to the park one Saturday. We had a box for collecting money. We walked around the park in our pyjamas. We raised 150 pounds by people putting some coins in our box. All my classmates were involved. Everybody wanted to help the needy children in poor countries. The charity walk was a great fun! We donated the money to UNICEF* and we got a thank-you letter.
В My friend Frank and I got the Childnet Award* for the best site on the Internet. It was Frank’s idea to design a website. We wanted to use the Internet for involving other children in volunteering. We used the website to present the photos and the video about those in need. We asked children from other schools to contribute to charity. We also rganizat a charity week at our school to raise some money for poor1 children. My schoolmates collected books and my Dad rganizat a charity run for the project. We donated the books and 200 pounds to Children in Need.* I feel really terrific, because I know I’ve done something good.
C At school last term we had a non-uniform day. We wanted to raise money for Save the Children.* Pupils paid money for not wearing their uniform. We went to school in our home clothes. I enjoyed being in my home clothes for the day. Also, we had a charity fair. I personally helped by rganizati sweet and cakes sale. We baked all the cakes ourselves. Our volleyball team had a game. Our teachers played against pupils. We paid to watch the game. I was supporting the pupils, but the teachers won. It was terrific! We raised 300 pounds. I feel good that I’ve helped one poor child in the world.
