Merry Christmas and Hapy New Year Project

"We want to do something for children and adults in our town who needs help so they can have happy Christmas and new year." said students in the 6th grade in Los Cipreses School in the beginning of November, 2007. They divided themselves in some groups, planned and worked for their projects during the breaks at school, afterschool, or even at the weekends.

Students recognize that there are much more poeple who need help than they can imagine in their own town, state, country and in the world. They looked at their home base to start their project. "Think globally and act locally. " is their vision. Of course, their heart and mind open to more projects for the future.

We brought you the report of the fruits of one of their projects. The article below was actually written by the members of one of the projects. To get more information about other projects, please click the following link: http://www.elrancahuaso.cl/admin/render/noticia/12487

Heroes

A hero makes the world a better place. Even young people can be heroes.

Meet Isabel, Xiomara, Valentina and Danitza. Who are they? They belong to a group called “Project Merry Christmas”. They’re the girls who started the group. They’re 12 years old, and they’re heroes.

They collected and recycled newspapers and cardboard, and raised enough money for sweets and simple toys for the children in Lo Miranda. Many children in Lo Miranda don’t have sufficient resources or opportunities. The group “Project Merry Christmas” visited a kindergarten in Lo Miranda to play many fun games with the children and to give them sweets and small toys for Christmas.

The children in Lo Miranda enjoyed very much these small Christmas gifts, fun games, and sharing special moments with those visitors.
The girls want to help children in Lo Miranda in every Christmas season. They welcome any volunteers who like to help children together.
