  I'm going to help the Forest Centre build new hiking paths in the mountains.It's going to be terrific-I'll spend the whole summer living in the tent and breathing the clean mountain air.I'm going to sleep under the stars.It'll be a nice sport, and I'll be able to do something good at the same time.

  This summer, I'm going to volunteer with Special House Program.They build good, low-cost houses and sell them to families that are not very rich.They'll teach me what to do, so I'll help people and also have a chance to learn how to build houses.
