I decided to meet my sponsored(被资助的) child, 12-year-old Natacha Etienne. She survived(幸存) the earthquake in Haiti. After a two-hour drive, I found myself in a beautiful place where Natacha’s family live.
When I first saw Natacha, waiting in her best clothes, I felt like giving her a hug(拥抱), but Ididn’t. She had never seen me before. With half of the villagers gathering to look at me, Natacha stood back, silent and shy.
When I pulled out photos, hand-written messages and drawings I’d received from Natacha, her shyness was gone and she began to talk to me. Her parents greeted me warm hugs and nervoussmiles.
Her parents thanked me repeatedly for coming. Her father opened some drinks, and we drankand talked. I learnt that their only plan was to get all their eight children educated, so they could get a chance to leave Haiti. “You are like another mother for Natacha,’’ they said. “You pay hereducation and we are really thankful to you.’’
I took part in the sponsor activity, hoping it could help children like Natacha have a chance to go to school. I believe my little contribution (捐助) will change their lives. Now I realize that writing letters and sending photos are of great importance to Natacha, because they are all small gifts sent with great love.

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill，you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot，and there are pains all over your body. You don't want to work，you stay in bed，feeling very sad.
What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can't find them with your eyes，but you can see them with a microscope. They are very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.
Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope，we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.
Germs aren't found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger，if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut(割开处)，some of the germs would go into your finger. Your finger would become big and red，and you will have much pain in it. Sometimes the germs would go into all of your body，and you would have pain everywhere.

Tired of visiting places of historic interest around the world? Then how about a holiday in space?
Recently, Russia has announced plans for a hotel in space. The dream of staying in space will soon come true.
