    These photos tell the story of what kids have done throughout out modern history to help others.  Take these photos and have students research current projects by kids to help a group or address a group issue.  This would be a great way to help students learn empathy and motivate them to think of others.

    What a great collection for "service learning" and for teaching Civics. It is something we all need. I will utilize this album. Thank you.

    These are great Susan! What was your search strategy? It could also be fun to teach that strategy and have students try finding more examples on their own - as well as brainstorming ways to help others!

    This was not a straight forward search I am afraid.  I found several Library resources on websites on the web.  From their citations I was able to get to the Library of Congress resources.  I never found a really satisfactory search scheme using the Library website directly.  Maybe the "Ask the Librarian" could help, but I came in the backway and not something you could reproduce for students.

    What a wonderful way to get students thinking about the differences they can make on the world! It reminded me of a blog post I researched at the start of the pandemic, about how students were helping with the war and influenza pandemic efforts of 1918. You might find some other helpful info here: https://blogs.loc.gov/teachers/2020/12/a-world-war-and-a-global-pandemic-how-did-students-make-a-difference/
