What do you do when charitable organizations call you asking for money? Do you donate money to the organization or do you ignore it? Peter Singer would argue that many people ignore it, and in 1999 he wrote the article “The Singer Solution to World Poverty” where he argues “that each one of us with wealth surplus to his or her essential needs should be giving most of it to help people suffering poverty so dire as to be life-threatening.” Singer introduces his article with two exceptionally different examples: a woman who saved a child’s life and a man who killed a child to save his Bugatti. Secondly, he proposes how much money would be required to save a child from starvation, $200, and explains why a majority people do not give even though $200 is not actually that much money.
Although most of my involvement has centered around politics, where I have been an active volunteer in the current election cycle, my service also extends to the homeless community in the Quad Cities. After recognizing the extent of homelessness in Davenport, my friend decided to start a nonprofit 5K to benefit a local shelter and I immediately joined in the venture. By working with the shelter rather than independently, we were able to avoid the faults set forth in To Hell With Good Intentions. Our good intentions have donated over $10,000 to King’s Harvest Ministries, who uses funds in a way that raises the standard of living for the local homeless

When people think of donating to charity you tend to think about massive charities, and huge funds. However, the charities that need the donations the most are these small non-profit organizations. Small organizations don’t have the funding big organizations do, so to allow these small organizations to continue helping they need your generous donations.
Oh no! I'm trapped in da snow globe! Name: Ava Covarrubias
It’s 8 am during halloween and you suddenly you get a amber alert (an emergency response system that disseminates information about a missing person) suddenly pops up on your phone. You get worried because you let your one child go by himself. You try to contact him but you can't get a hold of him. What would you do now? This is a biggest conflict during halloween.
All Hallow 's Eve, or as it’s known to everyone who 's not a priest in a B horror movie: Halloween, has never been a pre-holiday season staple in my Southern Baptist family. My parents have never embraced the spooky side of Halloween. While the other kids were cramming entire chocolate bars into their mouths amid heated debates over how many rolls of Smarties it takes to equal a fun size Twix bar for a trade, I was learning how candy corn can remind me of Jesus. Not only are my parents morally opposed to Halloween, but we also live off a highway in the country where the trees form a tunnel of foliage over the road almost cheering on drivers as they fly around corners like NASCAR racers. If I had ever dared to go out trick-or-treating on this Daytona speedway of a road, I would have
Have you ever blown out the candle on your birthday cake and wished for something you really wanted? Chances are, you have. The day after your birthday you probably looked around for it, but it was not there. Then you probably got sad and wanted to cry that whole day. That’s why I would like to use the $250 to make T-shirts to sell.
Trick or treat? Every year on October 31, many people celebrate Halloween. Today, Halloween is a popular holiday known for dressing up and eating lots of candy. Once dominated by children, Halloween is now decidedly ruled by adults and teenagers. Throwing expensive parties and wearing exaggerated costumes, adults have slowly begun to overthrow the children’s festivity.
Halloween, sounds fun. Is it absolutely necessary? Yeah, it’s fun scare kids but is it important? Some people
Does your school celebrate Halloween? My school doesn’t and I’m kinda glad about that. There are many reasons why schools shouldn’t allow Halloween celebrations. Kids could steal other kids candy, students may eat too much candy and get sick, and some students might feel left out because they do not celebrate Halloween.

More challenging than organizing a huge event for adults is planning a birthday party for kids. You don't just have to make sure that the celebrant and the guests have fun. The safety of the children attending must also be ensured. It is common knowledge that some unfortunate situations may arise whenever kids, especially toddlers, come together and play. For instance, someone who's running around will trip over and scrape his or her knees.
Christmas plays a huge role in every kid’s childhood, but not every kid is fortunate enough to have one. No matter what situation my family has been in I was always fortunate to wake up Christmas morning to gift under the tree, but now I understand that Christmas is not about what you get, but about what you are able to give back. To play a part in something as beautiful as in helping a kid have a better childhood really touched my heart and helped me see past the material things in life. Often people take for granted that they have gifts under the tree, or the luxury of having an iPhone, or nice clothes, but never stop to realize that there are people in the same community that don’t even have the luxury of waking up to a hot meal or clean clothes to wear. I can see, that a small personal gift under the tree can bring joy to a kid’s life, but it is also much more.
