People Who Help Us

Community helpers are people who do special jobs to keep us safe, healthy, and happy. Police officers protect us. Nurses and doctors help us when we are sick. Firefighters put out fires. Teachers help us learn.
Example

Community Helpers Around Us

At the clinic, a nurse checks if you are healthy. At school, your teacher helps you read and write. If there is a fire, call the fire brigade. If someone is in danger, the police can help — phone 10111 in South Africa.
Note

Remember

We can all be helpers too! You can help by being kind, picking up litter, and looking after younger children.
