I’ve always been inclined to participate in missions to poor countries. In a future, I’d like to do annual visits to several countries and try to lend a helping hand. I have been offered to participate in one in April 2009, they’re going to the Dominican Republic. My school does this mission every year and I have been invited several times but the dates conflicted with prior personal plans. This year, I thought I would finally get the chance. Sadly, my grandmother had said no. She said I couldn’t go because I would put my life at risk. Personally, I feel very sad that she feels this way. It isn’t the first time they do it and no one has ever been hurt. And even if I were to risk my life, it would be to try to help a ot of people who have had lives much worse than mine. I really wished I could help.

My school is also collecting food and clothes for the countries affected by the latest hurricanes. I exhort anyone who reads this to contact the Red Cross and organize donations in your school or neighborhood so that the Red Cross picks up the donations and sends them where they are needed. Food, money, supplies and clothes are all welcome and very much needed.

Always keep in mind, you never know who you might be helping. It can be an orphaned child or a mother who lost her children. You never know when you might need people to help you.
