Dear Readers,
Imagine an 11-year-old child often spent time washing clothes, looking after a baby, and working hard in the fields.
Imagine a little girl who knows there will not be enough food for dinner. who can't fill her stomach with water because it's polluted, and who has watched life slip away(消失)from her father and little brother and sister because the family is too poor to see a doctor.
Is it hard to believe? For Mary, these are the real life.
Mary would gladly walk miles to school, but her mother, now alone, needs her badly at home. Mary will grow up without any schooling. What will be her future? In many ways, maybe it will be unlucky. But with just 52 pennies a day, you cansponsora child like Mary.
To help Mary most, your money is put together with that of other sponsors, so hard—working people can help themselves. Build a school, a hospital, or bring in clean water. This is what “Save the Children” has been about since 1932.
For you there are many rewards(奖励). Have the chance to write to or hear from your sponsored child. Receive photos or progress reports. Know you are reaching out to another person.
That's how "Save the Children" works. But without you, it can't work. Let's help a child like Mary and her village.
It can make such a difference in her life and yours.
For the children
David
