Amy is an American student in Des Moines, Iowa. She is nine years old and she is in Grade Four this year. Now she and her friends are pen pals of the students in India.
In their letters, Amy learns that life of Indian children is difficult. And they don't have money to buy desks for school. She is surprised and wants to help them.
She and her friends collect ＄711. A charity(慈善) group helps them buy 75 desks. “We have many good things in our country,” said Amy. “We should help others.” She also hopes to raise(募捐) money to build a well for them. Then the students can get clean water from it. It may be a good gift for the Indian children.
