Laura is a 10 year old girl who made a website about making a difference
It can be found here
She updates it well enough and she wanted to make a difference. She decided to do something helpful that makes a difference, big or small, for twenty five days. On the website there are links to a list of ideas about making a difference, entailing things that Laura believes will make a difference in your community or household. There is also a tab called 'The Nice List" which is a list of people that have done something that makes a difference in their community or home.
There was a badge contest because there was so much support for the site. Laura and her parents asked supporters to come up with a "badge" or "symbol" of the site and cause to publish on personal blogs such as this one. The contest is over and a winner was announced and the badge looks fabulous!
Her cause is touching, her grandfather was somebody that she loved very much and looked up to, and he was diagnosed with brain cancer suddenly, although he was very healthy and happy previously. He told him that Laura was a leader and this inspired her to make this site, and make the cause.
The things that Laura do are things such as cleaning her fish's bowl and taking dirty laundry downstairs. She also put a letter of gratitude to her cafeteria staff and moniters, and asked her readers to support her cafeteria by voting for their recipe for Machos Nachos. If they win this contest the cafeteria will get a renovated kitchen. Laura does other things similar to this and with the help of her mom she posts details and other things on her website.
I support Laura in her cause and am glad to see even a 10 year old girl creating a cause such as this.
