They raised money by washing dogs. Local dog owners paid 20 dollars for a wash.

The event was a huge succes because the students raised 1000 dollars for local dog shelters.

Children chose this charity because they all love animals. Isabelle Bănică, a student in year seven said: "I have a dog at home which makes me happy. It is important that I take care of it. I know there are a lot of animals without owners which need our help. So I decided to raise money for RPR in order to help the animals.

The event took place at "St. Andrew School" in April. Some of the students sold cookies and lemonade. Others organized shows in which they danced and sang. They sold tickets for the shows and raised 20000 lei. All the money was donated to the organisation and people working there were thankful for our raised money activity.

As a reward, students at "St. Andrew School" are always welcome to play with the animals in RPR shelter.

All the students had only positive reactions to this activity, and the principal saw this, said that she would organize other acts of charity.

After that, they received the amount of 1000 lei, which was given to a shelter for homeless people.

Students at "Saint Peter School" decided to organize online fund raising activities, accompanied with marketing for The school's fund raising business.

Saint Peter School has decided to collaborate with SportBound corporation. The purpose of this partnership is to bring new sport supplies to athlethic students, giving them an amazing environment to develop their skills and grow.

The school's head teacher, Peter Batakam is very happy with the raised funds and would like to collaborate further with SportBound Corporations.

We will start by cleaning the cages and living areas of the dogs and cats. This involved scrubbing the floors, washing the beddings and making sure that all of the animals we're living their best live ever. We'll work hard but knowing that we'll make a difference for those animals will warm our heart.

After all this hard work, we hope that a big part of the remaining animals at the shelter will get adopted.

For the animals to feel good, a part of us volunteers will take the dogs on walks and take care of all of them.

I personally think that this will be the most heartwelming part of the day and I also think that the animals will be happy for achieving such affection and attention.

Well Im here to tell you we made it possible. “Saint Andrew” students have organized a chairity event where where you could bring chlothes, toys or even food and will donate it all the kids chairity so they will also have a good Christmas. Help us do good!

The book drive was organised with support of teachers and local businesses,so the logistics of collecting and distributing the books were smoothly handled.The students worked in teams to sort and categorize the donated books.The students also created a fun labeling system,so it can make it easy for children to pick out books.

Because the event worked so well,the organisers planed to make this an anual event,so the children can enjoy reading books.

They arranged the basketball field into a small adoption centre with cages, food, water, toys and other stuff for the animals. The charity “Help animals” had brought all types of domestic animals, such as: cats, dogs, hamsters and much more.

All the students participated in trying to find loving homes for the animals and from the 70 animals only 5 didn’t get adopted. The animals that didn’t get adopted went back to the shelter but that’s alright because they’ll be well taken of there.

This activity made the school stand up more then it already did and it helped the animals finally found a home they deserve.

This event was to raise money for local homeless shelters. The shelters provide essential services, including meals, job training and mental health support so the homeless people really appreciate it.

So many people participated because the organizers managed to create a fun atmosphere with live music, food trucks and children's play area.

Local businesses bought prizes for top runners and by the end of the day, the event had raised over 80.000 dollars.

The success of this year's Hope Run demonstrates the community's commitment to help those in need, making it an event to remember. :)

One of our organizers, said "we are thrilled with the turneul and the community's help. Every step taken today help improve the lovește of children in need".

The event also featured various activities like live music, food stalls and raffle draws.

We are organizing the fun run to support cancer cure research center. Families enjoyed various activities besides running such as face painting, volleyball, football, lessons about cancer and an q&a. We wanted to make this charity memorable and informative. Running is a healthy activity not only physical but also mentally. The runners will be gifted a book and a gatorade. One runner shared "Running for a cause makes the run worth every kilometer".

The event not only bought people together but also raiser awareness about the needs of a cure for cancer.

Almost every student took part of this annual event.They all gathered because they want to help, so,at the end of the day, we collected as many clothes, food and toys to fill a car.Every teacher tried to make the students belive that their effort matters .Also, every spring , our school planted trees in our school yard, around the basketball court.

We also collected batteries to recycling and give them to special centers.

"We all want to help"said the students

In the near future we want to go clean the park near our school and maybe to go on a trip to the beach to clean it.

The school wants to make students become eco-friendly so that our planet to be saved.
