What We did for Action!

We went to Kroger and asked people to donate money for buying smoke detectors for those who can't afford them. We colllected $106.35!! Then we went to Wal Mart and bought 10 smoke detectors. Today(December 02, 09)we went to the Fire Department of Houston, Texas. When we went there, there was no one. After sometime we saw red, blue, and yellow flashes. The next thing we saw was a BIG red fire truck! Then we met a fireman named Dennis and handed over the smoke detectors including one carbon monoxide detector. Dennis gave us a thank you letter. We took pictures wearing a fireman jacket! It was really SATISFYING to help people!! :)
