One day while I was walking near a church I saw a woman with her baby asking for winter clothes because she didn’t have any. From that day on I decided to go to church every week to give clothes for the poor people. One week, as I was going to the church, I saw two women coming toward me. They thanked me for giving them clothes. The feelings I had could not be described with words. The satisfaction and the feeling that I helped a person made me feel better.
I try every day to convince more people to give money to all who need it. But its not only money because always it’s the intention that matters.

Everybody says they take good actions and try for the best. But who really expresses an interest and helps out?
A long time ago I was a volunteer for the Red Cross and I took lessons to see how I can save people the future. I learned a lot of things there that are very important…for example, I learned exactly what I must do in critical situations and how I must deal with the situations.
The Red Cross is one of the best associations we have where we can learn this information and I don’t know what we will do if it doesn’t exist.
This is my good action that I will do for my life and I wish all people help by volunteering.

Have you ever thought about the good acts you have done? Probably not. Neither have I. But one day I fell down and a woman helped me. When I went home I sat down and thought about the good acts that I have done.
I probably haven’t done something important but the good act that I will remember all my life is that I helped a person. One day I was going to my English course. Suddenly a woman in a car hit a man on a moped. The man fell down and his feet were bleeding. I was so terrified and I didn’t know what to do. “Call the police and an ambulance” the man said. I called them. Then I approached the man and I tied his foot with a cloth.
That was amazing. The best experience ever!

Editor’s Note: Sweet Anastosia…I most certainly consider this a very important act of kindness and am certain the man you helped would agree! Blessings to you.

When I was twelve years old, and I was still going to primary school, I wasn’t as much afraid of criminals as much I am now because I didn’t really understand what they could actually do.
One day, as I was walking down the street, I noticed a man wearing black was following an old woman, so I followed them to see if anything strange happened. The old woman was walking very slowly and she came to a narrow pass where probably her house was. She tried to find something in her bag but she started screaming when she suddenly saw the man threatening her. That’s when I made my move. I picked up a big stone and I thew it at his head. The man fell down and I quickly called the police. The old woman thanked me for helping her and the criminal ended up in prison, although he was injured.
It’s good doing something nice for other people because you feel nice too. So, in my opinion, if someone needs help you should not avoid them. Just give them a hand.
