How would you help African people? Here are some children’s ideas.
I think being healthy is the most important thing. We should give money to help the people there get clean water and better health care. ——Toby, aged 16, Australia | People seem to give more money to charity (慈善机构) when there is a big disaster like the earthquake. It’s good for people to do so, but I also think that people should get into the habit of giving money to charity all the time. ——Ava, aged 15, America |
Giving money to charity can help, but it’s not the answer. I think what these countries need is good education (教育). Knowledge can make people’s life better and better. ——Neil, aged 14, England | The best thing we can do is to send professionals (专业人士) like doctors and teachers there. They can teach the people how to help themselves. ——Edwin, aged 16, Canada |
