Volunteer Opportunities for Young Adults

When you give back——to others less fortunate or in need of special help, you will definitely feel

good about yourself and the world. If you have a wish to be personally connected to the charity or

organization where you are giving your time and money, here are some volunteer opportunities.

Watsi★

Founded by Chase Adams after a bus ride in Costa Rica in 2011, Wastsi is a digitally focused heath

nonprofit for young adults.Watsi offers real-time tracking of where money donated goes, from basic

medical services to surgeries.

Pencils of Promise was founded by Adam Braun in October 2008. It is an on-profit organization that

puts all of its time and funds into education in the developing world. Pencils of Promise encourages their

donors to connect with others to increase donation. All the donation will be used to build schools, provide

supplies and train teachers in poor and under educated countries.

Project Linus★

Everywhere you see young men and women knitting and crocheting(钩). They are using those skills to

make blankets for children in need. Founded in 1995, in Denver, Colorado, Project Linus is an non-profit

organization. Its goal is to provide warmth and safety through blankets to children across the nation in

need. The organization is now led by Carol Babbit with the headquarters in Normal, IL.

For centuries, people have moved to and lived in cities. These urban centres are places to find work, fr

iends and fun. It's no surprise that they continue to grow as more and more people flood in hoping to make t

he most of the chances they offer but adding to the congestion and pollution that already exist.

According to a report by the United Nations, 54 percent of the world's population lives in urban areas

and it predicts that by 2050,this figure will have increased to around 70 percent. But as more and more peo

ple move from the countryside to the city to get better chances, they can end up with nowhere to live.

This is true in places such as Rio de Janeiro, where the people from the countryside can't rent or buy a

home,and they end up building their own communities and houses on unoccupied land. These are called sh

anty towns— poor communities where the houses are built out of cheap materials—and often don't have an

y electricity or water supply.

These are, of course, not the future cities we want to see. Some serious urban planning is needed to ma

ke our cities of the future good, safe and modern places to live in. This involves improving the housing con

ditions, the chances for education and employment and so on.

Something urban planners are looking at now is the creation of“smart cities”. According to John Rossa

nt, founder and chairman of the non-profit organisation New Cities Foundation, technology is the way forw

ard. He thinks that it's generally accepted that “cloud computing, ubiquitous Internet, robust 5G networks et

c, will change our cities”. He says technology is really “a game changer” in urbanization (城市化). It woul

d collect large amounts of data about how a city is working and may improve how a city functions.

5.Why will a larger population be living in a city by 2050?

A.Because the government encourages the development of cities.

B.Because more people will have more children.

C.Because the countryside will disappear.

D.Because more people will move into the city to get more good opportunities

6.What can we know about shanty towns?

A.They have good quality housing built for poor people.

B.They are filled with people living under poverty.

C.They are built by the government.

D.They are developed and modern.

7.What name is given to a city that uses technology to help it function properly?

A.Traditional cities. B.Future cities.
