Tell Us Your Good Deed:

As a Majority Member of the International Order of the Rainbow for Girls, I am now giving back to the Masonic Youth Group, by being Pledge Mom for a local Assembly. I teach young girls, ages 8-10 about the basic lessons of Rainbow - some of which are Love, Hope & Charity. They learn about Kindness and to be friends with each other.

Why are you participating?:

I am participating because I want to make this work a better place, in anyway that I can.

Student

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I am training to be a school psychologist, so I work with students who learn differently in order to determine how we can help that student be successful in the classroom. Every child should leave school feeling like they're cared about and that they learned something!

Why are you participating?:

I think the message is great- there is no characteristic that determines the kind of person you are. Only your actions and intentions

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I put together a series of art shows at an independent book store called The Rabbit Hole, focused on exhibiting work from local unknown artists.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

Through Soldiers' Angels, I write one letter a week to a currently deployed soldier. I hope that my little note lets them know that there are people in the States who care about them and appreciate the sacrifices that they are making for our country.

Why are you participating?:

Everyone is defined by stereotypes given to them by strangers, or by themselves and it hinders us from embracing and loving the unique person we are. We should love ourselves for who we are - and who we want to be, not be confined by what the world thinks we are just based on how we look.
