1. Who are the "Guardian Angels"?
The Guardian Angels are volunteers who look after the city and the people there. The most famous man who joined them is the former mayor of NYC Rudolph Giuliani. There are programs for kids from 7 to 11 and 12 to 16. They aren\'t allowed to patrol, but they can make a difference between violence and normal life. They are taught by some older Guardian Angels. When you\'re 16 and older, you may patrol and work with the ambulance, for example. They control New York Central Park and other dangerous places where crime is taking place day by day. There are also people looking the internet for men urging children in the cyberspace.
2. When did it begin?
The project began in 1979. First it was a neighborhood clean-up led by Curtis Sliwa in the Bronx. He formed the "Rock Brigade" with his co-workers. He was the night manager at a McDonald\'s restaurant at that time. They received many awards from community and governmental groups around the city. They managed to make this part of the city more beautiful, but it wasn\'t safer. The members walked old men and women home safely and they wanted to do something against crime. Then they controlled the subway. Curtis had a multi-racial team of 12 volunteers. They rode the subways for helping the police to find gang members. They took them without weapons and waited fort he police to arrest them. New York hadn\'t had enough money and the crime became more popular in the population. So neighborhood watch groups were needed, but they weren\'t welcomed.
3. What do they do?
I\'ve already told you about who the Guardian Angels are. Now I want to add some details about their work. The older ones teach kids from 7 to 11 how one should behave. The kids learn to say no to violence. When the kids from 12 to 16 are taught, they learn to refuse gangs and weapons, so that crime won\'t become more important in their lives. The older men and women patrol the subway and the Central Park because they want to make the city safer. They work together with the ambulance and the police. The Cyber Angels are looking for persons in the internet who are urging young children and teenagers. In the US the crime in the cyberspace grows and the kids don\'t know what the foreign people will do with them, when they will meet or so.
4. News of the "Guardian Angels":
This is my last paragraph in my project about the Guardian Angels. I hope, the information has helped you to understand the work of the volunteers and why it\'s so important.
The latest news I\'ve found in the internet is, that from the 11th to the 13th June there will be a World Conference between all Guardian Angels teams all over the world.
So this was my project, I hope, you\'ve understood everything.
