A compassion sponsor saved a girl from starvation. The sponsor learned about the girl's situation in a famine - stricken area. He provided food supplies regularly until the situation improved. Now the girl is healthy.

Well, here's a life saving story. In a burning building, a firefighter found an unconscious woman on the second floor. Without hesitation, he carried her on his back through the thick smoke and down the stairs. It was extremely dangerous as the building could collapse at any moment. But his training and courage prevailed, and he got the woman out safely just before the roof caved in.

There was a group of 6th graders who were working on a school project. One of the students, Mark, was having a really hard time understanding the task. Instead of ignoring him or making fun of him, the other students in the group decided to help. They spent extra time explaining things to Mark, going over the details patiently. They even shared their own ideas with him to make it easier for him to contribute. Their compassion helped Mark not only with the project but also made him feel included.

In a coastal town, a surfer was caught in a strong rip current. He was being dragged further and further out to sea. A lifeguard noticed and quickly grabbed a rescue board. He paddled hard against the current to reach the surfer. Once he got there, he helped the surfer onto the board and paddled back to shore. It was a very dangerous situation but the lifeguard's skills and courage saved the surfer's life.

There could be a story where a security guard was in a dangerous situation with an unruly intruder. The guard used a taser to subdue the intruder before the intruder could cause serious harm to others or themselves. This shows how a taser can be a life - saving tool in such scenarios.

One story is about a man who collapsed in a shopping mall. A bystander, who had CPR training, immediately started compressions. The man's face was pale and lifeless at first. But after several minutes of continuous CPR, the man showed signs of regaining consciousness. By the time the ambulance arrived, his vital signs had stabilized. It was really a heroic act by the bystander.

In a park, a jogger suddenly had a heart attack. A bystander who was a nurse immediately began CPR. She not only did the compressions but also made sure the airway was clear. She continued until the ambulance arrived. Thanks to her, the jogger survived. CPR really can make a huge difference between life and death.

A 6th grader can show compassion by listening. For example, if a friend is having a bad day, just sit and listen to them talk about their problems. Don't interrupt or try to give advice right away. Another way is to share. If you have extra snacks or school supplies, share them with classmates who might not have any.

One great example is the story of the dog rescue in a flooded area. Volunteers risked their lives to save dozens of dogs stranded on rooftops and in trees. Their compassion led them to brave the dangerous waters and bring the scared animals to safety.

Sure. There was a story about a lifeguard. A little boy was drowning in the pool. The lifeguard noticed immediately, dived into the water and pulled the boy out just in time. He then performed CPR until the boy regained consciousness.
