1 . For most kids, the best thing about having a birthday is the party. Unluckily, many children are very poor. They don’t have enough money to have birthday parties. But poor children in the USA are lucky, thanks to Chenault and her Birthday Party Project (项目) (BPP).
Chenault came up with the idea in 2009 when she saw a photo of a poor boy. This made her think more about poor children. Their parents don’t have enough money to have birthday parties for them. Chenault wanted to do something for the poor children.
Over the past three years, Chenault and her team have tried their best. They have over 1,350 parties for 12, 000 kids. And things are going on well now. This year, BPP has planned over 180 parties across the country, from San Francisco to Minneapolis to New York.
Chenault says her goal (目标) is to make every child know that they are important. She is happy to have birthday parties for them. Seeing the big smiles of the kids, we can say that she is doing well!

One Sunday morning, I took my dog Ben to the park to have a walk. Reaching the end of one street, Ben pulled (拉) me into a garden (花园) with lots of colorful flowers. At first, I tried to pull Ben back to the street, feeling worried that there might be something dangerous inside the garden. However, every time I tried to get Ben out of the garden, he pulled harder. Then I decided to follow Ben in.
Several minutes later, I heard some sounds. Then I followed the sounds to a vegetable patch (一块菜地). A group of people were busy with all kinds of work there. I asked them who the owner of the garden was. To my surprise, they all shook their heads. In the end, they told me it was a community garden and they were all volunteers. They come to help every Sunday morning to make sure everything is growing well in the garden. The following Sunday morning, I didn’t give Ben a walk. I had a new plan. I would go to volunteer in the community garden.
It has been one year since (自从) my first visit to the garden. I still love coming back every Sunday morning to get my hands dirty. It is not easy work, but I feel very happy seeing everything in the garden grow well.
