Mario Green and Mary Brown from Riverside High school give up several hours each week to help others.
Mario loves animals and wants to be an animal doctor.
He volunteers at an animal hospital every Saturday morning. Mario believes it can help him to get his future dream job.
“It's hard work,” he says, “but I want to learn more about how to care for animals. I get such a strong feeling of satisfaction when I see the animals get better and the look of joy on their owners’ faces.” Mary is a book lover. She could read by herself at the age of four.
last year she decided to try out for a volunteer after school reading program. She still works there once a week to help kids learn to read.
“The kids are sitting in the library, but you can see in their eyes that they're going on a different journey with each new book. Volunteering here is a dream come true for me. I can do what I love to do and help others at the same time.”

Most people today are only worried about getting good jobs to make lots of money. In their free time, they think about what to do for fun. However, few people think about what they can do to help others. there are many people who are less lucky than us. Volunteering our time to help these people is a good way to spend our free time. For example, we can make plans to visit sick children in the hospital or raise money for homeless people. Some people even stop doing their jobs for a few months to a year to move to another place, like one of the countries in Africa, and help people there.
课文：
Dear miss Li,
I'd like to thank you for giving money to Animal Helpers.
I'm sure you know that this group was set up to help disabled people like me. you helped to make it possible for me to have Lucky. Lucky makes a big difference to my life. Let me tell you my story.
What would it be like to be blind or deaf?
Or imagine you can't walk or use your hands easily.
Most people would never think about this, but many people have these difficulties.
I can't use my arms or legs well, so normal things like answering the telephone, opening and closing doors or carrying things are difficult for me.
Then one day last year, a friend of mine helped me out.
She talked to animal helpers about getting me a special trained dog. She also thought a dog might cheer me up.
I love animals and I was excited about the idea of having a dog.
After six months of training with a dog at Animal Helpers, I was able to bring him home. My dog's name is lucky—a good name for him because I feel very lucky to have him. You see, I'm only able to have a “dog helper” because of your kindness! Lucky is very clever and understands many English words. He can understand me when I give him orders.
for example, I say “Lucky, Get my book,” and he does it at once.
Lucky is a fantastic dog.
I'll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me. Thank you again for changing my life.
Best wishes, Ben Smith

Last week, Jimmy, the Bike Boy ran out of money to buy old bikes. He was unhappy, so everyone was trying to cheer him up.
He put up some signs asking for old bikes and called up all his friends on the phone to tell them about the problem. He even handed out notices at the supermarket.
Then he told the teachers at school about his problem and they set up a call-in center for parents.
The ideas that he came up with worked out fine. He now has 16 bikes to fix up and will give away to children who don't have bikes.
