I love charity shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, 1 everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods. The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s 2 to aid postwar Greece had been so successful that it had been 3 with donations. They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal.

Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the U.K. My favorite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20 pence each. Most of the people working in the charity shops are 4 , although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. The shops have very low running costs: all 5 go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than £110 million a year, 6 medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money?

Stocking the shelves

When you go to a grocery store, you expect to pay for your goods with money. But students at a high school in Texas, US, opened a store that runs on good deeds.

In November, students from Linda Tutt High School in the city of Sanger launched a grocery store that enables students to 1 necessities such as toilet paper, meat and basic food items using a point system. The store aims to support families in need.

“In our school district, there are 2 2, 750 students enrolled and throughout the district, 43 percent of these students are considered economically 3 ,” Anthony Love, principal of Linda Tutt told CNN. “About 3.6 percent of our students are considered homeless. We thought it was important to 4 them and their families and make sure they had food on the table.”

Students earn points by 5 positively to the school. For those students from poor families, the point system has provided a way for them to shop for their families, according to Love. “They can earn points for doing chores around the building or helping to clean,” he said.

With the help of partners like Texas Health. Albertsons and First Refuge Ministries, the school was able to stock the shelves.

The number of points for each item was actually 6 by the students. “So we walked through here and decided that a can of green beans was one point,” said Paul Juarez, the executive director of First Refuge Ministries.

Juarez said that he hopes the idea gets 7 in other areas. “It gives us a picture of what can be. So if we can do this inside other schools, it will do a whole lot to help other small towns.”

In addition to the 8 benefits, students also learn about supply management and customer service, and such lessons could prepare them for future jobs.

The grocery store’s student manager, Hunter Weertman, said he has already learned important life skills from his experience at the store, such as making good spending choices and budgeting.

The store 9 was also welcomed by Thomas Muir, Sanger s mayor. “We all had our first jobs and it taught us how to work, and what you got for your work,” he said. “I think this will do that for them too, and also meet an 10 need.”

You probably don’t remember much of what you did when you were four. You were probably in preschool. You probably weren’t aware of greater world problems such as greenhouse gases, poverty etc. And I’m sure you definitely weren’t thinking of ways to solve these pressing world issues, because it’s just not what 1 four-year-olds do, right?

Well, this isn’t the case for Joshua Williams. When he was only four years old and he was walking on the street with his mother, he saw a homeless man. The man had a sign that said “need food”. That moment was eye-opening for him and so he was 2 to do something about it.

Joshua and his family started helping out some poor families by giving them food. He founded the “Joshua’s Heart Foundation” in 2005 with the help of his family and a couple of close friends.

Joshua’s Heart Foundation has two main goals: to “stomp out world hunger” and “break the cycle of poverty”. They do this through many different programs such as the Food Recovery and Distribution Program which provides boxes of food to hundreds of families on a low 3 every month.

Joshua’s Heart Foundation also educates communities and raises awareness of hunger and hunger-related issues. People who are aware that hunger is a serious issue are more likely to 4 to stomping it out.

Joshua’s incredible work has been 5 and led to him receiving many high-profile awards. In 2012, he became the youngest recipient (接受者) ever of the White House Champions of Change Award.
