People helping People Survive

By Tracy Sizemore

My name is Tracy. Ten years ago we sponsored an entire Indian Family named the Tails on pine ridge. We got to know them very well. We found out they and the grandparents had been sleeping on the floor. We fought through red tape for months, they all got a new bed with lines pillows and blankets. The,three children we were suppose to sponsor became the entire family and the grandparents. In the winter we put money on their propane account to keep warm. They invited us many times to visit but taking care of our home and kids and theres, was costly.

Volunteering at Indonesian Street Children Organization (ISCO)

By Ken To

An Inspiring Experience

My time volunteering at the Indonesian Street Children Organization, or ISCO, in Medan, Indonesia, was fun and fruitful, albeit a short period of time. During the two weeks, I had an enjoyable time teaching English classes to children of different ages, from kindergarten, elementary school, to high school levels, at ISCO’s activity centre in the Polonia district, which is situated right next to Medan’s international airport.
