Problem(s)

(What happened

there?)

Actions/ Solutions (What did they do?)

The island was flooded. Everything was in chaos.

□shortage of food, water and medicine □Power off断电

□Bad traffic □Health problems □Mental health problems □Dry climate

-Provide food, water and medicine; -Set up clinics and treat people;

-Listen to them and comfort them

Is it an easy job to help there?

Difficulties -bad weather -bad situation

-disease -language barrier

Since there were so many difficulties, why did they still help there?

Feelings/

Helping others makes me appreciate more and see Thoughts/ things from a different angle. …

We can’t change the world by helping others, but

every effort we contribute does make a difference to people’s lives.

Step 3 A free talk: If you had a chance, would you like to be one of them? And why?

UN peace-keepers;

a UN Good-will ambassador;

doctors without boarders... Conclusion:

In fact, most of us won’t have a chance to be a UN

peace-keeper, or an UN ambassador or a doctor without boarders, but we still can help those around us in our community.

Step 4: Make an action plan to help your community:
