Plan a charity event

Planning a charity event is a wonderful way to practice civic responsibility — helping others in your community. It also involves economic skills like budgeting, fundraising, and deciding how to spend money wisely.

Civic Duties and Responsibilities

• Civic duties are actions citizens are expected to perform (e.g. following laws, voting when old enough).
• Civic responsibilities are actions citizens choose to do to improve their community (e.g. volunteering).
• Good citizens participate in their community, respect others, and help those in need.
• Planning a charity event is a civic responsibility — it helps others and strengthens community bonds.

Community Helpers

• Doctors and nurses — provide healthcare to keep people healthy.
• Firefighters — protect people and property from fires and emergencies.
• Teachers — educate children and pass on knowledge.
• Police officers — keep communities safe and enforce laws.
• Social workers — support families and individuals facing difficulties.

Needs vs Wants and Economics

• Needs — essentials for survival: food, water, shelter, clothing, healthcare.
• Wants — things we would like but do not need to survive: toys, games, holidays.
• Saving — setting aside money for future use or emergencies.
• Spending — using money to buy goods and services.
• Budgeting — planning how to use limited money wisely.
