"Eight-year-old Christian Bucks from Roundtown Elementary School noticed that some of his classmates did not have any friends to play with during recess. His solution was to introduce a “Buddy Bench”, where lonely classmates could choose to sit if they wanted a playmate. If two children were seated there, they could ask each other if they wanted to play or talk.

These Nuns mean business! Like most Nuns, the Sister's of St. Francis in Philadelphia fight for causes in social justice, from fighting for farm worker's rights to battling McDonald's over childhood obesity. However, these nuns have recently taken it to a new level by "using the investments in their retirement fund to become Wall Street’s moral minority."
