When Allison Winn was eight and her family adopted a dog named Coco, they had no idea how much the little Bichon Frise would change her life."Coco helped me feel better," says Allison, who was recuperating from 14 months of treatment for a brain tumor at the time."She would cuddle with me when I didn’t want to play." Allison loved Coco so much that she told her parents she wanted to help other sick kids find the same kind of comfort.
She started small, raising money by selling lemonade and homemade dog biscuits in front of her house. Her first customer was the mailman. By the end of that summer, she had raised nearly ＄1,000, enough to adopt and train two dogs and give them to children with cancer. Now, a little more than two years later, corporate groups and civic organizations gather to make dog treats at a Denver kitchen for Allison’s cause.
Her organization, the Stink Bug Project, named after a picture she drew commemorating the end of her chemotherapy, is run and managed in partnership with the Morgan Adams Foundation. Stink Bug helps families adopt pets from the Colorado Correctional Industries Prison Trained K9 Companion Program, where inmates teach commands to rescued dogs. To date, the program has raised ＄33,000 and facilitated the adoption of ten dogs, paying for the ＄450 adoption fee plus a starter kit of a dog bed and crate, food, toys, a leash, and a collar, which gets embroidered with the pet’s name and phone number."We ask the kids their favorite color," Allison says, so she can coordinate ribbons for the dogs.
With the leftover funds, Allison’s mother, Dianna Litvak, who helps run Stink Bug, hopes to extend the pet-adoption program statewide and continue donating some of the proceeds to help fund pediatric cancer research.
Her daughter is just as ambitious."I wanted to do a million adoptions, but my mom made me lower it," says Allison. Still, she’d eventually like to get dogs to sick kids in other states.
"Allison has figured out how to help—in a way that no one else has," Litvak says proudly."We involve her younger sister, Emily, her friends, the adopting families, and the women at the prison. It took the love of a little girl to wrap all that together into one amazing package.\

A further 60 individual teachers also faced penalties for "malpractice", the regulator said, although this was down on a year earlier. The disclosure comes amid an ongoing investigation into cheating in GCSEs by one of the Government’s flagship academies. Kingsdale Foundation School in south London was alleged to have changed pupils’ work after tests and fabricated coursework in an attempt to drive up grades.According to reports, one former pupil even claimed that teachers entered the exam hall during a test, telling students to change their answers. Ofqual insisted that the sharp rise in school reprimands was down to a clampdown on malpractice by one exam board—Edexcel.A spokeswoman for Pearson, which runs the board, said: "In 2012 we introduced a more rigorous warning process so that we can gain far more accurate data across centres on all incidents, both minor and major." According to figures, 130 penalties were imposed on schools and colleges in England, Wales and Northern Ireland this summer, compared with just 56 a year earlier and 106 in 2010. It was the highest total since records were first collated in 2009.
School-wide penalties can be imposed for a serious management failure across an entire institution or department, rather than the isolated actions of one teacher. Three schools were found to be giving assistance to pupils in the exam hall and examiners reported security breaches on 21 occasions, it emerged. Remaining penalties were imposed for a variety of reasons, including opening papers early, sitting an exam at the wrong time and failing to invigilate candidates properly. Most cases resulted in a written warning, although five had their power to run exams withdrawn. This penalty had previously only been used five times over the last three years.
Some 60 teachers or lecturers were subjected to individual penalties, with two-thirds of cases related to "inappropriate assistance to candidates". Other staff were reprimanded for coaching or prompting students and giving candidates more time beyond the official finishing point. Overall, 23 teachers were suspended from involvement in exams.
The use of mobile phones and other electronic devices in the exam hall was the most common reason—covering almost half of cases—followed by plagiarism, failing to acknowledge sources and copying from other students.
