I remember watching TV and seeing other children suffer in other parts of the world when I was a very little child.I would talk to myself, "When I grow up,when I can become rich,I'll save kids all over the world."
At the age of 17,I began my career here in America,and by 18,I started my first charity organization.I went on to team up with other organizations in the following years,and met,helped,and even lost some of the most beautiful souls,from six-year-old Jasmina Anema who passed away in 2010 from leukemia(白血?。?--her story inspired thousands to volunteer as donors,to 2012 when my grandmother lost her battle with cancer,which is the very reason and the driving force behind the Clara Lionel Foundation (CLF).We're all human.And we all just want a chance:a chance at life,a chance in education,a chance at a future,really.And at CLF,our mission is to impact as many lives as possible,but it starts with just one.
People make it seem too hard to do charity work.The truth is,you don't have to be rich to help others.You don't need to be famous.You don't even have to be college-educated.But it starts with your neighbor,the person right next to you,the person sitting next to you in class,the kid down the block in your neighborhood.You just do whatever you can to help in any way that you can.And today,I want to challenge each of you to make a commitment to help one person,one organization,one situation that touches your heat.My grandmother always used to say, "If you've got a dollar,there's plenty to share."

3.The example of a foreign teacher who volunteered to help fight the wildfires in Chongqing's Beibei District with other local residents has touched many.
In the unbearable heat and drought conditions,multiple wildfires hit parts of Chjye.aigqing.On Sunday night,a forest fire broke out and spread in Beibei District.The local government issued an urgent call for volunteers with certain skills and experience,such as chain saw(鏈鋸)operation,to join in the firefighting.Chain saws were used to create fire barriers.
"I was happy to help," said Francis Stonier,a professor in a university. "I used to cut trees around my yard and neighborhood and had volunteered many times in the US in the past."
Stonier found a translator-50-year-old He Wu,a foreign language professor-who also signed up to fight fires.Soon after arriving at the volunteer area,the pair were assigned to one of the chain saw groups-examining and adjusting chain saws.
"Stonier is responsible and focused,and is doing a really good job," said He,adding that Stonier checked each chain saw carefully,to see if it was too tight or too loose. "Wherever I went,the volunteers and local residents gave me a big thumbs-up.It was an unforgettable experience," Stonier said.
Thanks to the joint efforts of fire and rescue workers,as well as volunteers and residents,the scaring wildfire in Beibei had been put out as of Thursday night.
"It was great to see such an outpouring of help in the extreme heat," Stonier said,noting that he was impressed with the number of locals who came to help.Motorcyclists gave up their jobs to transport materials and people up and down the mountains.Others gave their time to carry heavy supplies,prepare and serve meals or help organize.
