COMMUNITY SERVICE, WHY NOT?
Are you interested in performing community service? Do you want examples of service projects you can do? Community service is a great way to help others and improve your community, and it can also help you gain skills and experience to include on your resume and college applications. Community service is work done by a person or group of people that benefits others. It is often done near the area where you live, so your own community reaps the benefits of your work. You do not get paid to perform community service, but volunteer your time.
Community service can help many different groups of people: children, senior citizens, people with disabilities, even animals and the environment. Community service is often organized through a local group, such as a place of worship, school, or non-profit organization, but you can also start your own community service projects. Many people participate in community service because they enjoy helping others and improving their community. Some students are required to do community service in order to graduate high school or to receive certain honors. Some adults are also ordered by a judge to complete a certain number of community service hours. There are numerous benefits to participating in community service, both for yourself and others.

THE TEENAGER WHO SAILED ACROSS AN OCEAN
14-year-old Michael Perham sailed into Antigua yesterday – and became the youngest person to cross the Atlantic alone. After an amazing 5,600 kilometre voyage lasting six- and-a-half weeks, Michael’s achievement beat the previous record set by 15-year-old Sebastian Clover. Looking smart and relaxed in white T-shirt and baseball cap, the teenager got off his 8-metre boat - called Checky Monkey - and walked through the huge crowd waiting for him on the Caribbean island. ‘It feels fantastic being back on dry land - really brilliant’, he said. ‘I'm looking forward to a comfortable bed and a great dinner. I don't care what it is, I'll enjoy eating anything that's not out of a can!’
The idea for the vovage began when Michael was 11 and he saw a television film of Sebastian Clover crossing the Atlantic. Fascinated, he later attended a calls by Sebastian and told his father, an experienced sailor, that he too would like to break the record.

Three years later, Michael was ready to set out on his great adventure.
