(1)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]Give energy saving light bulbs to families in need - this was the bright idea of Avery Hairston teenager, and friends at the Collegiate School in New York City, who started RelightNY in 2006. Using donations from individuals and corporations, the teens buy compact fluorescent light bulbs, which use less electricity and last longer than regular bulbs. Then they scout out residents of low-income who need the help. So far, they've delivered 21,000 bulbs.

They were ugly for sure, but to Wills, 31, they were also a cry for help, most likely from someone in poor health or the elderly. So one day, on his own time, Wills started mowing - without pay and eventually with a little help from his friends. “A yard is an outward appearance of a person's life”, says Wills. “I try to help people see something positive”. Today he cuts 18 yards on a regular basis, using donated equipment from all over. “This mailman is a godsend”, says 87-year-old Lucille Formanek.

Gus chose the Galapagos Islands, the Pacific archipelago Charles Darwin first made famous in 1859. For seven days, the duo sailed the islands, scouting blue-footed boobies, albatrosses, and marine iguanas, while Gus vied with the tour guide for most notable factoids. Father and son snorkelled among 250-pound sea turtles as well as stingrays and sea lions, and, says the elder Kendrick, “I could hear my son laughing through his snorkel”.

But the Los Angeles-based interior designer realised she was lucky compared with some other parents she'd met at the hospital during her son's treatment. Single mums and dads often a choose between staying to comfort a sick child or going off to work to pay the bills. After her son passed away in 1995, at the age of 19, and her grief-stricken husband committed suicide the following year, Sobel made it a personal mission to assist the most vulnerable families. The Andre Sobel River of Life Foundation provides grant money to single carers of seriously ill children at 12 US hospitals, covering everything from rent and mortgage payments to wigs for cancer patients. The programme has now given $4 million.

“Valerie Sobel is an angel”, explains cancer survivor Oscar Diaz, 19. “She made sure I had my mum”.

(5)   [A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H]With the goal of providing donated cars to low-income citizens, former food-service executive Hal Colston founded Good News Garage twelve years ago. Since then, the Burlington, Vermont, nonprofit has given away more than 3,000 vehicles to residents of New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Vermont. “If you can't get there, nothing happens. You can't get a job or be part of the community”, says Colston, 54. Lucky recipients are sure that transportation helps pave the way to a new start. The majority now rely less on government aid, and 83 per cent claim that having a car makes holding down a job possible. Good news, indeed.

Henry VII passed away at Richmond Palace in 1509 and his son Henry VIII came to the throne after Henry VII's death, and he visited Richmond too and came to Richmond Park known as Shene Chase then as Richmond Park as it is now did not take its name until Charles I was around in the following century.

One place of all which is good to mention is the Royal British Legion Poppy Factory up Richmond Hill. The Poppy Factory was founded in 1922 by Major George Howson to give men who were disabled from the Great War of 1914-1918 some form of employment who otherwise might not have had work due to being disabled from the war.
