I'm looking for something that my college dorm could do that would be fun and creative, not just collecting things or money. Our missions statement asks us to impact our community and the world, and I would like to find something we can do together that will contribute to a cause somewhere overseas.

If you can provide links to websites, that would be awesome.

It may effect your answer to know that I go to a Christian college. Thanks!

Oh, also one thing I've done in the past is painted canvas shoes for refugee children, and if anyone knows of a link where I can get information on that, that would be awesome.

  1. "Our missions statement asks us to impact our community and the world, and I would like to find something we can do together that will contribute to a cause somewhere overseas."

    try to identify what is needed in the community you are trying to help..

    identify also your skills and interests..

    you may find relevant and beneficial articles here:

    volunteerpower.com

    energize.com

    (try to search it if the link is incorrect)

    goodluck! God will bless your efforts!


  2. For overseas:

    -Children's book drive

    -Donate shoes/clothing/etc. to orphanages

    For your community:

    -Meals on wheels (or something similar)

    -Visit/read to sick/elderly/underprivileged children

    -Clean up local park/lake/etc.

  3. Try knitting hats for orphans or cancer patients. Knifty knitters make round looms that are easy to use. Lifelineofhope.org

    sends these to orphanages around the world. Go to www.makeachildsmile.org

    this website is for kids that have terminal illnesses and need a helping hand. Collect cans of food for a local food bank. Volunteer at a homeless shelter. Read or be mentors to less fortunate kids. Big brother or sisters club. YMCA. All kinds of things out there.

    Good Luck and God Bless on your search!
