Students go hungry for charity(慈善)
Students at New Point School enjoyed their breakfast today, for it broke a 24-hour fast(禁食) for charity. During the fast, they could not eat any food ,and they could only drink water, tea and clear fruit juice. The students all volunteered to go without food for one day to raise money for UN projects to help the poor .
Mr. James Wood, their English teacher, said, “The students the idea themselves after seeing photos of hungry children. They organized the whole thing. I'm very proud of them.”
“Twenty-four hours did not feel like a very long time. Next year, I might even double I spend fasting. Then I can raise twice as much money!” said Jane Austin, a student. “It's so wrong for us to have lots of food while many people in the world are going hungry. We need to give to those in need.”
The students collected about $2 400 from the fast. They were the total amount. “It's amazing! People are so kind, and they want to help others,” said Alan Long, another student.

Mrs. Gill lived next door to Nita. Every afternoon, Mrs. Gill took a walk. She said it kept her young. Nita liked to talk with Mrs. Gill when Mrs. Gill came back. Mrs. Gill was always happy after her walk. She often showed Nita something she had found, like a beautiful red leaf (叶子)
One afternoon, Mrs. Gill looked upset. Nita asked her why.
“I am sad about all the trash (垃圾) on the street,” she said. “I never saw so much trash in this neighborhood! What happened?”
“Mrs. Trent moved,” said Nita. “She used to go out each morning and pick up trash. I often saw her on my way to school.”
Mrs. Gill looked very ▲ . “I thought I knew everything about this neighborhood!” she said. “But you see more than I do!”
“Well, I wish I could do Mrs.Trent's job. But you know, my back (背) often hurts. It's really hard for me to pick things up,” she added.
“I could do that,” said Nita.
Mrs. Gill said, “I will carry the trash bag! You can use my gloves (手套) so your hands can stay clean.”
Nita put on the gloves. She picked up pieces of paper. She picked up boxes. And Mrs. Gill carried the bag. Lots of people stopped to thank Mrs. Gill and Nita. The street looked much better.
“Thanks, Nita,” said Mrs. Gill. “Let's call ourselves the clean-up team!”

The children can't wait to use the computers to do their homework and chat with their friends! The computers are part of our excellence (优点) in Service Campaign.
We would like you to visit our "home", so you can meet the children. We love to show you around our "home". The children also enjoy meeting visitors.
