On the 15th of each month, a classroom at Pointers Run Elementary School in Maryland, is packed with volunteers. Students like Campbell Snoddy collect food that_______ by students, parents and teachers from each classroom. Then, the children check to make sure the food isn't too old. After that, they sort it by category and put the cans and boxes into bags to be delivered to low-income senior citizens in the community.
“I wanted to teach my daughter about philanthropy(慈善).” says Julie Rosenthal. Who started the non-profit program six years ago. “And I wanted to teach other kids in the community, too.”
Children make their deliveries around the 15th of the month when money from monthly Social Security checks begins to run out and tough decisions between food and other needs have to be made.
"I am on a fixed income and the food has helped me out considerably," says Linda Testerman, a food receiver. "
"It was really fun, and it was great to make the senior citizens happy," says Campbell. "It was really cool."
Sofia Merkowitz. another Food on the 15th volunteer, agrees. "I really liked it because it made me feel really good that people were so happy that they got food."
Rosenthal says that is why she has children do more than fill a bag with donated food.
"We want the children to have firsthand experience delivering the food to the people so that they can get that feeling of really making a difference in somebody's life, a positive difference."
The program started with one school delivering 30 bags of groceries. It has grown each year, and now involves 10 schools and several churches. Food on the 15th has delivered more than12,000 bags so far. Rosenthal's goal is to expand Food on the 15th across the country and around the world

In Vietnam(越南), Tet-trung-Thu, or Mid- autumn Festival, is one of the most popular holidays. It is held on the 15th day of the 8th month in lunar calendar
Vietnamese families plan their activities around their children on this special day. In a Vietnamese story, parents were working so hard to prepare for the harvest that they left the childen playing by themselves. To make up for the lost time, parents would use the Aid-Autumn Festival as a chance to show their love and than for their children.
As a result, the Mid- autumn Festival is also called the Children’s Festival. In the USA, this tradition continues in many Vietnamese- American families. Tet-trung-Thu, activities are often centered on Children and education. Parents buy lanterns for their children so that they can take part in a lantern parade at dawn. Lanterns mean brightness, while the parade means success in school. Vietnamese markets sell different kinds of lanterns, but the most popular children’s lantern is the star lantern. Other children’s activities includes arts and crafts(手工藝) in which children make face mas and lanterns. Children also perform traditional Vietnamese dances for grown-ups and take part in contests for prizes and scholarships. Unicorn(麒麟) dancers are also very popular at Tet-trung-Thu festivities.
Like the Chinese, Vietnamese parents tell their children folk stories and serve moon-cakes and other special treats under the bright moon. A favorite folk story is about a carp(鯉魚(yú)) that wanted to bee a dragon. The carp worked hard and finally changed itself into a dragon. Parents use this story to encourage their children to work hard so that they can bee whatever they want to be.
