As the Red River water continues to rise, the threat to life in Fargo also rises. Life has come to a standstill in the city facing a severe flood situation. Amidst this natural tragedy, volunteers in the form of local school students have come to the rescue of the people of the city.
Fargo faces threat in the form of a severe flood. But the shinning armor in this crisis-like situation has come in the form of young students, who have volunteered to help their community and have excused their studies for a human cause. Even their parents and teachers are supporting them in this regard.
Around 1,600 students from public schools in Fargo, Fargo Shanley, and West Fargo Public Schools will extend a hand to those volunteers working day and night to save their neighborhood from inundation.
Volunteers have been moved to Fargo's "Sandbag Central," where they will be required to fill in 100,000 sandbags in a 12-hour shift. Fargo North students will be volunteering at Peterson Parkway/Woodcrest; Fargo South students will be volunteering at River Vili, Harwood Grove and Timberline; West Fargo students will be responsible for volunteering efforts at Rose Creek; Shanley students will offer help at Belmont Park and Southwood, and Oak Grove Students at Oak Grove. Fifty volunteers can fill up to 1,000 sandbags in one hour.
This is not the first time when students have been actively participating in relief efforts in the area. Even last year, the college students volunteered to protect their community and neighborhood from deluge; however, as they are on vacation this time, the medium and high school students have assumed taken over from them.
This is a classic example of volunteering for a human cause!
