Never Too Young to Make a Difference

A When 12-year-old Rachel Wheeler arrived at a small village in Haiti, she was greeted with cheers and praise. Having raised over $250,000 for Haiti, which was left in ruins after the 2010 earthquake, this young girl built 27 earthquake-proof cement homes in the village. This area of homes has become known as 'Rachel's Village' in her honour. It all started when Rachel, along with her mother, attended a meeting held by the international aid group 'Food For The Poor' to help the people of Haiti. At the meeting Rachel, then only 9 years old, promised to raise enough money to build 12 homes. Rachel collected funds by organising bake sales, collecting donations at her school's sporting events and selling arts and crafts. According to Rachel, "You can't just sit around and think about doing it. You've got to actually get out there and do it." And that is exactly what she did, and more, by doubling her promise and building 27 homes. Next on this super fundraiser's list is to raise enough money to rebuild the local school.

B When Jeff Hanson was 12 years old, life was not easy or at all fun. His days were often spent at the hospital receiving chemotherapy for a tumour on his optic nerve that threatened to leave him blind. In order to help him get through these difficult days, Jeff's parents gave him note cards and watercolour paints. Jeff started painting and soon it was evident that he had a gift for colour. That summer, Jeff started selling his note cards at the foot of his house's drive. The intention was to make a bit of pocket money, instead by the end of the summer Jeff had made $15,000! He gave all of it away to charity. That was just the beginning for Jeff who expanded his work to colourful paintings. In five years, he has donated over $350,000 from the sale of his work to more than 50 charities. At 17, the sight-impaired teen has big plans for his art and his fundraising with a goal to raise a million dollars for charity.

C Matt Hermes promised his daughter, McClain, that he would shave his head if she collected 1,000 pairs of used shoes for 'Shoes for the Soul', a charity her dad created. The charity collects shoes for the homeless and needy. "I didn't think I would be able to do it," said the 10-year-old about her father's challenge. She surprised herself though by collecting nearly 1,600 pairs of shoes and her dad went bald! McClain collected the shoes from neighbours, her school and her parents' work. The Hermes family know first hand what it is like to need support and help which their community gave to them when McClain needed eye surgery. "Now", explains Matt Hermes, "we want to give back." McClain also plans on collecting toothbrushes and toothpaste for a new project she has named 'A Reason to Smile'.

D While most teenagers are surfing the Internet in their free time, Bruce Orloff is often thinking about water and lots of it. It began when Bruce's teacher asked her students to present a serious world problem to the class. While researching on the Internet, Bruce was shocked to learn that more than 1 billion people in the world don't have access to safe water. Bruce decided he had to do something about it. Bruce learned that in many countries people have to walk kilometres each day to get water and return carrying heavy water jugs. This gave him the idea of a charity walk to raise money to build wells in villages without safe water. But Bruce also wanted to make participants understand the hardship people go through to get the water, so he created a 5 km walk where walkers have to carry water jugs. The first Bruce's Walk raised £4,000 and built four wells. When a nearby building company learned about the success of the walk they donated a well. Other shops started a collection for Bruce's wells. Bruce hopes to start similar walks in other towns and cities.
