Adam Braun set up the organization (组织) Pencils of Promise in 2008. Its goal is to make sure all children have a chance for education. Six years later? the nonprofit organization is building a new school somewhere every 90 hours. It has helped more than 22 ,000 children in Africa,Asia and Latin America.

It all started when Adam Braun was a college student. He was visiting India when a boy stopped him and asked for money on the street. Mr Braun asked the boy what he would want,if he could have anything in the world.

“I thought the answer was going to be ‘a house’ or ‘a car’ or ‘a boat’. His answer was ‘a pencil’. So I gave him my pencil and he was just happy and excited. I realized he never had been to school before,and that was the reality (现实) for 57 million children around the world ,” Braun said.

Adam Braun started working in finance (金融) after he graduated from college. But he never forgot the boy and the problem he realized.

We live in a world in which every child can have a chance to get a good education,because we have everything necessary already. We are able to educate every child. So I promised to help change that world. ” Braun said.

Mr Braun raised money for his project. He paid for building the first Pencils of Promise school in Laos five years ago. Since then,his organization has helped pay for more than 200 schools in the countryside of Laos,Nicaragua,Guatemala and Ghana.

My name is Kumar,a little boy. Here is my story.

After I left home,I got a job in the hotel. I had to wash the dishes. I was not paid,just given two meals a day. At night,I slept on the tables after the customers left. After a year,I left and walked to the next town. One day,a man,called Mr Stewart,told me that he could help me get a job in the Kathmandu. The man said that I would be trained to make carpets (地毯) and that I would be able to earn a lot of money. But the man was not telling me the truth. He took me to a big í?ctory that was full of children,mostly girls. I was only ten years old,but I was not the youngest child.

It was like ? prison (监狱) ，and we were locked inside. We worked every day from 5 a rru to midnight making carpets without pay. One day,I saw ? halfbroken window in the bathroom,so I ran away.

After that,I lived on the street. Some of the older boys were thieves (小偷). They ordered me to steal. If I refused,they would beat me. One time,I was caught and I went to prison for six months.

When I came out,I lived on the street again. I was the youngest kid in the group of serious thieves. One day,my head was hurt. My friends took me to a hospital by Child Workers in Nepal. There,for the first time,I found adults who cared about me. That happened when I was 11 years old. If it wasn5t for that accident,I would probably be a big thief by now.
