Question

John Brown, an office worker, lives in Washington. He inherited (继承) ＄1 000 000 when he was 23. He didn’t feel happy at all. His college friends were looking for their first jobs, but he didn’t tell any of his friends and gave ＄ 1 000 000 of his money to a charity that helped poor children to live better lives. Today he is 36, he still wears cheap shoes and clothes and owns a small car only, but he is much happier.

Up to now, John has helped 15 children from poor countries all over the world, ＄200 a month for each. The money is used to afford the child’s education, food, medical care and clothing. John receives a report each year on the child’s progress. They can write to each other, but usually the children do not speak English.

Once John went to meet a little girl in Africa. He said that the meeting was very exciting. “When I met her, I felt very happy.” he said. “I saw that the money was used for a very good plan. It brought me closer to the child. I will do everything I can to help those children in need.” he added.
