GALLANT KIDS How to Make a Difference |

|
Liam's Lunches of Love Liam Hannon was only ten when he started handing out free lunches to people who were hungry. With help from his family and other supporters, he hands out 75 to 100 lunches three times a month. We asked Liam to tell us about it. Q: A: Four summers ago, I didn't want to go to camp. Instead, I did an online treasure-hunt program. My first task was to do something to help homeless people, and I got the idea of making them lunch. Q: What's the best part about what you do? A: I'd say meeting the people. They're real people who just need a little kindness in their lives. Some of them have become friends of our family. Q: A: I want to tell them to do something they enjoy. And get help from friends and family. I invite my friends to help with lunches, and almost every time, they've come and given out lunches with me and my dad. |
EDITOR'S(编者) NOTE
First, think what needs to be improved. By doing this, you may see steps you can take towards that goal. Many people don't give a start because they want to make a HUGE difference. But actions and results don't have to be huge to be meaningful. Take Liam, for example. His goal was not to solve the problem but to help. So he did. For the people who got those lunches, he made things better. Share your ideas with a parent. Every helpful act you do, no matter how small, makes the world better!
