Change the
W rld
Miss Bays class was working on their
morning assignment when Alex raised
her hand.
Miss Bay? Alex asked.
Yes, Alex, said Miss Bay.
Some of us have been talking. We
have an idea, she said. You know
how we have been collecting change
in our Change the World jar since the
beginning of the school year?

Q
To help save the rainforest, added
Miss Bay.
Yeah, said Alex. Could we give that
money to a different cause?
Mellie had to leave her house, said
Alex. The wildfires got too close. We
want to help other people who had to
do the same. Our money can help until
they can go home.
Great idea! cheered Miss Bay.

Choose a Cause
The first step in fundraising is to choose a
cause . It might be wildlife or people in need.
It can be a charity that is close to where you
live. Or it can be a cause from across the world.
It is important to help others. By helping, we
can improve lives and even the world.
