Stacey Hillman, Florida
Once Stacey has read about police dogs in the newspaper: sometimes their lives are in danger! “I thought about how much I love my dogs and I don’t want to lose them. So I need to do something to help to protect the police dogs.” At 9 years old, Stacey began a charity organisation to buy bullet-proof vests for dogs. Stacey took her idea to the local police officer and with his help, she created Pounds to Protect Dogs. People in her community joined the charity organisation and they started to raise money. The volunteers even washed cars! And they asked different organisations to help. Pounds to Protect Dogs has raised $275,000 and bought vests for 340 dogs in 21 states and territories. “My aim is to buy bullet-proof vests for all police dogs because every police dog needs it.”
Jacob Komar, Connecticut
When Jacob was 11 years old, a teacher of his sister’s school showed him a room where he saw a lot of broken computers. He thought, “I know lots of kids who don’t have computers, and they need computers for learning, so why not let the kids have them.” The school principal agreed to give Jacob the broken computers and he began to rebuild them. Then Jacob found needy students, gave them the computers, and taught the families to use them. “Best of all I liked their happy faces. It was like Santa Claus who came in.” Jacob rebuilt more than 110 computers. Now he is a college student and he is going to teach others about his computers.
Robin Strump, California
Robin remembers that it was difficult to learn to read when she was a child. But Robin not only learned to read but also she started to love it. “In my home, I have always had a lot of books. And I have always had someone who could sit and read with me.” Robin decided to help other students and to teach them to love reading. “My aim was to start a Book Project and to provide needy students with good books.” In 5 years, Robin and her friends collected and bought more than 15,000 books. “In one school I met a boy who said he hated reading. I spent a lot of time trying to find a book he’d like to read. At last I discovered that the boy was crazy about sports and he agreed to take a book about a boy who was good at basketball. In 3 days he came to our library again and chose another book. I was happy.”
