7、The American Red Cross says Hurricane (飓风) Katrina has left thousands of people homeless. Children in many parts of the United States have organized projects to help the victims.

In new jersey, children organized a three – day sale. They sold cookies and lemon drinks. They earned more than three thousand dollars. One local businessman offered the same amount of money as the children earned.

Children sold baked goods and fruits in other areas of the country, too. Students in the state of Indiana also washed people’s cars to earn money for hurricane victims. Older children in the area are organizing dance competitions. The dancers ask their families and friends to hand in money.

Students in Florida are sewing cloth bear toys for children affected by the storm. The children say they hope the bears will make the hurricane victims felt better. Teachers say the children who are making the bears feel good.

Another group of children are filling special cloth bags for hurricane victims. These sisters in Bethesda, Maryland got the idea for Project Backpack. They are asking other children to fill backpacks with things hurricane victims might like. These include books, games, toys, dolls, balls and school supplies. They are asking for things that will help the children have some fun. The girls say on their website that they hope to get one thousand backpacks to send to the hurricane victims.

Other efforts are more individual. One boy in New Jersey celebrated his ten birthday with a party. He asked his guests to bring money for the hurricane victims instead of birthday presents for him.
