why it's important:

I believe suicide should never be a way out of being put down by many and being judged for their own character

the plan of action:

Talk to many people and earn their trust and give them advice to never turn to suicide no matter what they go through and to spread peace to others and give them the same advice

how you can get involved:

Create a chain reaction through out the country

Teens Stand For Charities has set a healthy goal to raise money to build wells in African villages.

why it's important:

This common problem through African villages starves its children of proper education. Each child must spend his or her day fetching water for their family, in which the water source afar off. I want to be able to provide wells within villages so that children can have education, water can easily be obtained, and Christ's love shared.

the plan of action:

We are in the process of running fundraisers to gain money to help build wells. Six other schools since the beginning of the 1st year of TSFC's impact have been inspired to make a difference and have joined my school, Christian School of York, in raising money for clean water across the globe.

the problem:

House fires are not only dangerous, but one of the most devastating disasters that can happen to a family. A life they have worked years to build can be vaporized in minutes, destroying each and every one of their belongings. While emergency workers and firefighters make sure they keep the families safe and alive, we at the Burnout Relief Committee make it easier to start rebuilding their life after the fire is out. Through clothing, shoe, and blanket collections, our donations go straight to the County's Volunteer Fire Association, where they are sorted, stored, or handed out immediately to families in need.

why it's important:

One year ago my godmother's house fell victim to a structure fire. The whole house went up in flames, and was left as a smoldering and singed uninhabitable box. While the fire fortunately claimed no human victims, the fact that the family was left with a hotel room and only the clothes on their bodies was unbearable. Having close friends and family in the fire and EMS services, my friend and I reached out, made connections, and came together to form a specific organization that could immediately help the family and their children. Our friends, school, teachers, and others were more than glad to help and the word spread quickly and successfully.

the plan of action:

We do one drive per semester at our college, collecting clothes, shoes, and blankets of new or slightly used conditions. Initially our goal was to have a drive each time we heard about a structure fire. However, the more situations that arose, and the more motivated we became, we decided to make it a regular drive, and found a location we could store our clothing for future needs.

Helping children affected by the earthquake and tsunami in Japan through Friendships and Partnerships

the problem:

What I have been trying to do to help the world become a better place is to build a website not only to gather people to see my website, but to action off items for a profit that will be given to a specific cause. I have built a website that I want to use to help gather in people to come and talk, listen, view, and relate to the world by viewing music videos, movie trailers, video game trailers, and other topics I hope to add on later. The auctions page will be used for the purpose of showcasing my creations, and the selling of my creations. If this goes well in the future, I also would like for others to be able to donate their items on my website for a cause as well.

why it's important:

When I was younger, I was always considered to be nature, environmental, and human sensitive to the negative effects on these subjects. The burning and cutting down of trees, pollution of the world’s drinking water, hunting down animals to be used as trophies, abuse against women, and so many other events. But I was never able to do anything to help because when it all comes down to it; the best way to help any cause is to offer money. And who could blame people for needing money to help others because the world seemed to run highly on currency. I really wanted to help, but I could barely help myself in that situation. Even though I have become older, I still was not able to help those that I wanted to help and the longer I was waiting do to something, the worse everything was becoming, especially in my area.

the plan of action:

I have already created a website that is available for others to view. I have even had some people travel into my website. But it’s not exactly the greatest looking website on the planet. I still lack some experience in making good graphic logos to put onto my website. But I am still learning and I am willing to make major changes to the website until I can create a website that everyone will be proud to visit. I have included a picture with my project idea that will become the new logo for my Relax and Tell website. And because of this, I am certain now that I can make more original graphics and help improve the outlook of the website. My new website is being made and will soon take the place of the old website. This should gather more people to view my website and will gather many more supporters to my cause.

how you can get involved:

I know that my website is not entirely finished right now, but the best way to help me improve my vision is to come to my site, click on some of the ads and banners on the website, and bookmark the pages in case you do decide to buy something from their web site. This way, I can get a small commission from every product bought from each of those ads on my website. If I can get even a small commission rate from the ads on my site, I can make even more improvements to the website that could become more interesting.
