①“Kids can make a difference，” Craig Kielburger said. When Craig was 12， he started a group to help kids all over the world.
②How did Craig start？ In the seventh grade， he was so sad and angry to learn that a 6-year-old boy had to work in a factory. The boy could not go to school. He had no freedom(自由) at all. That made Craig think about his own life. Laws(法律) in his country say that kids must go to school and schools are free for all kids. But in some countries， people need to pay for their education， so children from poor families don't go to school but to work.
③Craig wanted to help those who didn't have the same advantages (有利条件) as he and his friends had. As a result， Craig and some friends started Free the Children. Craig and his friends decided that Free the Children should try to give money to set up schools. Craig hoped that learning would help kids in poverty live better. He believed that the children who couldn't pay for school could change their lives through studying.
④Today， Craig's group has more than one million members in 45 countries. It is still going strong. It gets much money from lots of kind people and brings people many good things. It helps build more than 500 schools around the world. It also pays for health care in poor places.

　　The meaning of the word “volunteer”may be a little different in different countries， but it usually means one who offers his or her services. There are many different ways in which people can volunteer， such as taking care of sick people， working in homes for homeless children and picking up rubbish from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are usually people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate(幸运的) than themselves. Volunteers don't expect any kind of pay. At the root(基础) of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy， a good friend of mine， however， recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in Calcutta. “I had to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets， and give out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest， I don't think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help， but to learn about and experience another culture. Volunteering helped improve my own understanding of life and the world，” she said.

I went to a small park next to our school last Saturday morning with my classmates. We started to work as soon as we arrived there. First， we picked up the rubbish. Then， we cleaned the chairs and sports equipment. Finally， we put up signs in the park to ask people to keep the park clean. It was already 12：00 when we finished everything. I was tired and hungry， but I still felt happy when I saw the clean park.
I'm looking forward to joining the next volunteer activity.
