4.Conor Grennan was unwilling to be a volunteer(志愿者).The 29-year-old American was not sure if he had the skills or a strong feeling for it.
However,he went to work at an orphanage(孤兒院) in Nepal.His first thought was to make people impressed.
"I thought that if I volunteered just once.I could retell the story over and over,"Grennan said in a Huffington Post article.
However,his three-month stay it the orphanage turned into in unusual experience.It was 2004and Grennan had given up his job to begin a year-long around-the-world trip,His first three months were spent in Nepal.
When he arrived in the village,he knew nothing about the children or the local culture.When he opened the gate of the Little Princes Children's Home,he was faced by the excited children.
The young American ended up caring for 18children.He later discovered that they were trafficked(被拐賣的)children.So he walked through the mountains with great difficulty to find the kids'families,"I started walking with photos of the kids."he told the Reuters reporter."I would show up in villages and show photographs around.I went with 24photos,and I found 24families."
At the same time,he put his heart into Nepalese culture.
Grennan said,"Volunteering is the single best way to see how the rest of the world lives."
He also encouraged others to do what he had done.He believes that volunteering needs only making decisions to show up.
Grennan's fight against child-trafficking has changed him.His book,Little Prince,came out last week.

    然而,他在尼泊爾的一個(gè)孤兒院找了份工作.他的第一想法就是給別人留下深刻的印象.

    然而,他的為期三個(gè)月的孤兒院志愿工作變成了一次不凡經(jīng)歷.那是在2004年,格倫南放棄了他的工作,開始為期一年的環(huán)球旅行,他的第一站就是在尼泊爾度過了三個(gè)月.
    剛到這個(gè)小村莊,他對(duì)兒童和當(dāng)?shù)匚幕粺o所知.當(dāng)他打開小王子兒童之家的大門時(shí),迎接他的是一群興高采烈的孩子們.
    這個(gè)年輕的美國人要承擔(dān)起照顧18個(gè)兒童的工作.后來他發(fā)現(xiàn)這些孩子都是被拐賣的.所以,他費(fèi)盡周折走遍山區(qū)尋找這些孩子的家."我?guī)е⒆拥恼掌_始奔走",他告訴路透社的記著,"我拿著照片在村子里到處打聽.我?guī)Я?4張照片,找到了24個(gè)家庭."
    與此同時(shí),他融入了當(dāng)?shù)厝说奈幕?br />    格倫南說,"志愿經(jīng)歷是一個(gè)人了解世界各地生活方式的最好途徑"
    他也鼓勵(lì)其他人加入他的行動(dòng).他相信只要下定決心,就可以做一名志愿者.
    格倫南與拐賣兒童行為的對(duì)抗改變了他.他的書《小王子》上周出版了.

  Taking part in charity(慈善) is not just for grown-up people.Children can do it too!Melvin Sheppard,14,an American student,has done charity work for eight years.He has also encouraged his classmates to join him.
  Melvin studies at William Allen Middle School in Philadelphia. Recently,he collected 1,500 by himself and 487 from his classmates to donate(捐贈(zèng)) to Cooper University Hospital.
  Melvin was born nine weeks premature(早產(chǎn)的) in Cooper University Hospital,weighing 2.6kg.His father told him how Cooper saved his life,so he feels thankful to the hospital.
  Melvin's classmates joined him as soon as they found out about his kind behavior.Their teacher,Michael Berner,also held a class with them about helping others."It wan't really about the money,"Berner said."It was about the face that they were doing something good."
"It is great,helping someone that I know,"said Jordan,Melvin's classmate.Melvin's neighbors also helped out.
  Since Melvin was 8,he and his parents have given money to Cooper University Hospital every year.This year,Gary E.Stahl,the head of Cooper's division of neonatology(新生兒科學(xué)部門),went to Melvin's school to accept the money.
  The money goes to a part of the hospital that helps about 500 young patients every year."When they leave,we call them graduates,"Stahl said,"We are pleased when our graduates and their families do well,like Melvin and his family."
