Saturday April 26th, 2008 I got done with my service project today. I did a thing with my church, we helped senior citizens with house/ yard work. We worked from 8am to 3pm. It felt really good helping these people,they were so grateful. I helped to iron clothes and rake leaves, and even cut down part of a tree (that was dead) with a saw! I am really glad I went and helped. More people should think about doing things like this, because the people are so grateful, cause usually they cant do the type of things like yard work. And it is really good to just sit down and have a talk with also, you could learn so many things. Like one of the people had a stuffed Polish hen, they said that those hens were so pretty that the old painter would paint them into rural scene paintings!

I am very strong about animal rights, I think way too many people are abusing animals. Animals are apart of the family, no mater what family it is. If you abuse or hurt animals, wouldn't that then be like hurting or abusing a family member or a friend? Animals can be people too. Why should you care? Because it's the right thing to do. Because cruelty to animals is illegal in all 50 states. I got this from [|here]. Many people dislike animals. They think animals are just for using, working, and eating them. Over the time there are more and more species in extinction and less and less people that care about the animals.

For more info about the Animal Shelter click [|here].

We could raise money for the medical bills that the animals have when they are in the shelter. Volunteer to work at the animals shelter to take care and help the animals. We could raise money to buy food, toys, and other essentials for them. Spread the word and get a lot of kids together to volunteer at the shelter for a day or two.

Well, animals really interest me because they have personalities just like humans, but they are not really humans. And I am sometimes not very society friendly. And I feel like when people abuse, or abandon animals is just like abusing or abandoning a person or a child, and that is absolutely wrong.


 * What is your topic: Helping animals
 * Why is this important to you: It is important to me because animals are so loving and caring for their owners. And how do we repay them? By hurting them or leaving them somewhere?
 * What is the action you'd like to take: I would like to work with the animals at the shelter to help them, and make them happy.
 * When are you going to implement this: I was thinking Friday, April 11th, Wednesday April 6th, and Friday April 25th. From about 11 a.m to 3 p.m.
 * When should your work be completed:
 * Who will be involved: Justus and I. And I might get a few of my other friends together. (that is still to be decided)
 * Where will you be implementing your work/steps: At the animal Shelter.
 * HOW are you going to start? I am going to start by filling out a volunteer sheet from the Animal Shelter.
 * HOW are you going to proceed? I will set up the dates and times, and make sure they will work. And then go and work.
 * HOW is this going to end? Hopefully that a lot of the animals will feel loved, and cared for.
 * HOW will you know when you've been successful? When there is no more work to do around the shelter.
