Have you ever thought about the value of a penny? It is not very much in America and people throw them away all the time. Have you ever looked down on the street and seen a penny and not picked it up? So have most Americans.
Yet in other countries, such as Africa or Mexico, due to the exchange rate, a penny is valuable there. A few pennies can help feed a hungry or starving person. Children can live and not die, famine can decrease.
Here in the U.S. we are a very diverse nation, many races, many creeds, yet we all agree on one thing, we can help those who are hurting around the world. We can even help hungry people here in America, such as Native Americans or children living below the poverty line.
How can I help??? By picking up pennies everywhere you see them, in the street, in your car, in your house, everywhere.
Who can help??? Students, businesses, young people, old people, teenagers, civic groups. Even homeless people have helped us, due to the small value of pennies.
