Alana’s academic achievements are also accented by working as a volunteer in the community. She has been involved in Meals on Wheels Program and Operation Christmas Child. These socially engaging

Christmas is only a few weeks away and more than any other time of the year, thousands of people in need are looking forward for the help of the Salvation Army. The members of the Salvation Army are impatient to worship and listen to the Holy Spirit and once again follow the steps of their mother of the Army, Catherine Booth. There are more than 1.5 million Salvationists across the Europe and the United States, helping people in need for physical and spiritual salvation. In 1865, William Booth, a British Methodist preacher, found the Salvation Army with the help of his wife Catherine Booth, who later was known as the mother of the Salvation Army. Their mission, with the values of hope and justice, was to transform the lives of people, especially those in need for spirituality. “ Do you also follow Christ?” was Catherine’s Constant question to her listeners. The causes of Catherine Booth’s success in her life can be summarized in three stages of: her upbringing, her religion and desire to follow Jesus Christ, and her marital life that gave her the opportunity to serve in the Salvation Army.

Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross after becoming involved in the work of the International Red Cross during the Franco-Prussian War. Her heart of giving and helping others convinced her that an American chapter was needed in her country in 1881. The ARC is a humanitarian organization that is dependent on the contributions of time, blood, and money from the American public to support its multiple lifesaving services and programs. The ARC’s mission is to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies by mobilizing the power of volunteers and the generosity of donors. The ARC from its humble beginnings and up to recently has provided great support the American public and military during

Many people don’t realize the true value of volunteering, but I’ve come to understand the incredible impact of volunteering through my experience at Memorial Hermann. Mahatma Gandhi once said, “The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.” For me, his words could not be truer.

The organization heavily counts on volunteers to make its mission a reality. “Not only was it rewarding giving back but we also had the opportunity to learn about

The American Red Cross has helped to serve those in need for over a 100 years. It was founded in 1881 by Clara Barton and her peers. Clara Barton thought to create an American Red Cross after learning about the Global Red Cross network during a visit to Europe. She petitioned to get the American Red Cross and after a year or working she convinced the U.S did so. The American Red Cross was under Barton’s leadership for 23 years and during that time the organization received its first congressional charter. Since then the American Red Cross has had many congressional charters including the most resent 2007 charter. The 2007 charter essentially restates the past purposes for the American Red Cross such as helping American Military members communicate

As stated by the article Giving USA, “Americans donated an estimated $358.38 billion to charity in 2014; highest total in reports 60-year history.” The story A Visit of Charity by Eudora Welty is a about another form of charity about someone giving time to another. In the story it was about a girl who was a girl scout and was sent to go to an old lady's house to spend time with them. The nurse there didn't really care about her job and gave the girl two random lady's to spend time with. The girl didn't really care about it only caring for herself and brought an ugly plant for the people she was going to meet. After a while she ran out the door and took a bite out of a apple and ran on a bus to go home. The title of the story is ironic because

In today’s society, identities play a big role in a person's life. To everyone that knows me, i am identified by being the “Greek Girl” that cares greatly cares for others more than herself. I am also identified by the person that does so much volunteer work that they wonder how i keep up with all the basics. I believe, that a person who can freely offer to lend a hand does so much good impact for the community. Volunteers impact everyone they help whether it be towards school, an occurrence of a natural disaster, or church.

As a member in multiple volunteer groups, I not only wanted to help, but to also understand the people I worked with. Whether this meant writing holiday cards in Spanish, teaching robotics to elementary students, or performing at food kitchens and senior homes, I strove to comprehend their experiences and environments - to broaden my views of the world. At Penn, I plan to broaden my perspectives by participating in pre-health organizations like Penn Pre-Medical Association and volunteering through opportunities found at the Civic House or the Netter Center for Community

“We all have a responsibility to volunteer somewhere and I'm lucky that I get the education and get taken to places to see what's out there and see what's happening and to then be a part of it in hopefully an impactful way.”-Jennifer Garner. I believe through this experience, I have been given the opportunity to experience something I have never done before. This project has given me a reason to volunteer, and because of this I would like to volunteer more. I choose to volunteer at San Dimas Community Hospital located 0.2 miles away from my house. It was very easy to volunteer there because I could just take a short walk and arrive at the hospital. Before I could begin volunteering at the hospital, I had to fill out a detailed application before. After completing the application, I waited one month, before finally getting the call that I was selected. After the acceptance, I was ask to go to a meeting, where we had to sign tons of papers and take two extensive tests. Finally, after that we received badges that allowed us into the hospitals

I was very pleased to receive my application for the National Honors Society and I am very excited to be writing this statement. Over my highschool career I would like to think I focused on my academics and my learning. I enjoy taking challenging classes that push me to my academic boundaries. Outside of school I mainly help my family’s Non Profit organisation, Piccola Opera, which has a goal of enlightening, educating, and entertaining the public with the musical art of opera. I enjoy giving my time to the company because I feel that this dying art form is very important to not only our culture but the culture of the whole world. My goal for volunteering was to try to remove the stigmas associated to the art form, and educate the public that

Audrey Hepburn, born in 1929, made a lasting impact on World War II. During the war Hepburn’s mother moved her family to the Netherlands where she believed that their family would be kept safe since it was a neutral country. Despite what Hepburn’s mother thought, the Nazis invaded. The Nazis cut off food supplies starving their family and millions of others; due to this malnourishment, causing her to have a slender figure that later was envied by many.

I lead the “Worth-Less Movement,” which has brought national attention to the school funding inequity in Iowa and have worked closely with legislators to come to a solution. Outside of school I volunteer at a local children’s theatre and teach theatre classes for students who fall on the autism spectrum. I founded, lead, and wrote curriculum for 2 non-profit organizations that each require over 100 volunteer hours: Long STEM Roses, which encourages elementary-level girls to enter a math/science career, and Don’t Upstage Yourself, which uses theatre as a tool to foster in elementary students a love of the arts, public speaking, and, most importantly, themselves. Through Don’t Upstage Yourself I have been named a Herbert Hoover Uncommon Student and have been able to produce 3 world-premiere plays with a cast made up of primarily socioeconomically disadvantaged

The effectiveness of the celebrity humanitarian work is dependent on the interplay of the organization and performance of the campaign, the reaction of stakeholders, response of public and the legitimacy of the lead celebrity. The organization, legitimization, stakeholders’ response, and performance are highly dependent on the actions of the lead celebrity, making these celebrities active agents in the process of promoting humanitarian work on the Third World. Nonetheless, the advocacy efforts of the celebrities and the participation of them in promoting humanitarian work generate diverse positive and negative implications such as increases public awareness, increases fund, celebrities narcissism and so

Audrey Hepburn, a woman of style, class, and genuineness was recognized as a Hollywood actress and fashion icon. Hepburn’s lifelong journey resulted in her living a fabulous which, in the beginning, was difficult to obtain. As a child growing up during World War II, Audrey Hepburn had to flee her land and the dreams of becoming a prima ballerina were no longer tangible. Instead, it led her to become an onscreen actress, a performer in a number of plays, becoming a sensational fashion icon during the 1950s, and lastly the role she played in UNICEF becoming the International Goodwill Ambassador. Hepburn once said, “My career is a complete mystery to me. It 's been a total surprise since the first day. I never thought I was going to be an actress; I never thought I was going to be in movies. I never thought it would all happen the way it did." With over twenty-five movies, Audrey Hepburn always focused on her career; however, her life soon shifted once she was married and had her two sons, Sean Hepburn Ferrer, and Luca Dotti. As a wife and mother of two, Audrey Hepburn, like many other women in the spotlight, took a long break from her acting career and focused on becoming a full-time mother and her humanitarian work with UNICEF later on when her children left the nest. As Hepburn’s priorities shifted, many would agree the second stage of her life is equal to or if not greater
