>>HI, MY NAME IS TARAN.
I AM A KID AND I AM A HELPER!
ONE OF THE BEST WAYS WE CAN BE HELPERS IS BY BEING KIND AND CARING NEIGHBORS TO THE PEOPLE WE MEET.
KIDS CAN BE HELPERS IN MANY WAYS.
WE CAN SPEAK UP IF SOMEONE IS BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY.
WHEN OTHER FAMILIES ARE IN NEED, WE CAN HELP EACH OTHER BY DONATING TOYS, FOOD OR CLOTHES.
ANOTHER WAY KIDS CAN BE HELPERS IS BY MAKING THOUGHTFUL NOTES.
CARDS ARE A CARING WAY TO TELL SOMEONE YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT THEM.
THESE CARDS CAN SAY "“GET WELL"”, "“THANK YOU"” AND ANYTHING ELSE YOU CAN THINK OF!
WITH THE HELP OF THE CARING GROWNUPS IN OUR LIVES, WE CAN ALSO HELP BY VOLUNTEERING.
VOLUNTEERING IS GIVING YOUR TIME AND HELP TO A PERSON OR ORGANIZATION.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS TO VOLUNTEER.
KIDS CAN PICK UP TRASH IN THE PARK OR SORT FOOD AT A FOOD BANK.
EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD HAS SPECIAL WAYS KIDS CAN HELP.
HOW WILL YOU BE A HELPER?
GROWNUP HELPERS ARE ALL AROUND OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
