CARE AND OXFAM
Many organisations are trying to find a solution to the problem of world hunger. Two of them are CARE and Oxfam. They both provide food to hungry people. However, they both believe that it is more important to help people produce their own food. Because of this belief, both organisations have programs to help people improve their lives.
CARE was organised in 1945 to help people after World War II. It distributed over 100 million food packages. Meanwhile, it was starting self-help programs. Today it has development programs in 37 countries.
CARE gives equipment and teaches people how to build water systems, roads, schools, houses, and health centers. It also teaches people how to increase production on their farms, how to reforest areas, and how to stirt small village industries.
Doctors and nurses volunteer to go to villages. They provide health care for the people. They also teach people how to improve their health. They train people to provided simple medical care.
CARE also provides food for about 30 million people each year, most of whom are children. It gives special help when there is a flood, an earthquake, a drought, or a war. OXFAM
During World War II, a group of people in Oxford, England, organised Oxfam to send money to Greece. When the war was over, they continued to give money, food, and clothing to other countries in Europe.
In the 1960s Oxfam started working on long-term development in many countries. It wanted to attack the causes of hunger, poverty, and disease. It wanted to prevent problems instead of trying to solve them after they start. However, it continues to provided food to the hungry, sick, and homeless. Oxfam believe that all humans share one world with limited resources. Rich and poor countries depend on each other.
Where do Oxfam and CARE get their money? Ordinary people in developed countries give money, Oxfam also has small stores. They sell beautiful things that villagers in developing countries make. Oxfam and CARE receive millions of dollars every year.
Both organisations are international. They help people of any race, colour, or religion. They meet with the people to decide on programs together. CARE and Oxfam help provided the necessities of life to less-developed countries.

Alaska: Animals Everywhere
Animals are everywhere in Alaska. If you go out to the wild areas, you can see a lot of wild animals. Some large animals, like the caribou, live in groups, and you can see hundreds of them. You can also see other large animals, such as moose and deer. There are also bears and wolves, of course. But these animals are not really dangerous. If you stay away from them, they will stay away from you. They usually are afraid of people.
Sometimes the wild animals come to areas with people. You may see deer or moose, for example, in someone's backyard. This makes the children and the tourists happy, but it's a problem for Alaskan gardeners! These animals like to eat the plants in gardens, and they walk all over the grass and flowers.
A lot of people in Alaska have animals at home, too. Dogs are the favorites, especially huskies. The Eskimos used these dogs to pull sleds in the winter. Many Alaskans now keep huskies and go dog-sledding as a sport. There are competitions for the most beautiful dogs and the strongest dogs. Of course, there are dog sled races, too.
