11 Million Smiles for East Africa

As a 13 year old girl, I feel so grateful for all the blessings that I have. Sometimes I ask myself why God gives so much to some people and barely anything to others, why some people enjoy life because they have so many commodities while others struggle just to survive one more day. I have recently read an article about the droughts in East Africa, and the extensive threat this is for the people, livestock, and their crops. More than 11 million people have been walking kilometers under the sun, trying to find water and food since the drought has killed most of their livestock and crops. And right at that moment, everything began to make sense. God gives more to others so we learn how to help and share what we have with the ones who have none. Here in Washington you hear people complain EVERYDAY about the rain, when there are people on the other side of the earth, who aren’t getting any rain at all. Since I can’t bring the clouds to them, I thought I could help from here. LETS ALL TURN 11 MILLION FROWNS UP SIDE DOWN! more

Anti Cigarette Butt Campaign

Launch a "Plant Your Butts Here" Campaign in your town. Begin with one street, expand to two streets and then eventually to the entire town so there is a cigarette butt planter every 100 feet within the town. The anti-smoking laws that most cities are now enforcing cause smokers to flick, stop or toss their cigarette butts on the ground before entering a building. This has increased the amount of butts that litter the streets. Through educating the pubic about the negative effects of cigarette butts on the environment and making the butt disposal receptacles in accessible places, we can reduce the number of cigarette butts that litter the streets in our community. The butt planters are whimsical with the "Plant Your Butt Here" theme and provoke interest and amusement. Something so small does make a difference! We are committed to helping any organization begin this project in their community. Join us in this nationwide endeavor. Together we can make a difference, one butt at a time! more

BAND FROM TEXTING

My project is called BAND FROM TEXTING. The product that I am selling is a silicone wristband, but there is a catch. When you get into the car to drive, you stretch the wristband around your phone to prevent you from using the phone while driving. Even if you do not have a car, you are encouraged to buy these wristbands, which help support programs that educate citizens on the dangers of texting while driving. These programs will include statewide television stations, education programs in schools or in drivers ed classes, lobbying for the issue, and anything else that you may think of! You can send messages to me if you have an idea about where else the money should go. Please do consider purchasing my product! It is only a dollar, but your one dollar may one day save a life! more
