An average but an extraordinary charitian, Matel Dawson gave away $1.3 million to charity over his lifetime.
Born the fifth of seven children in 1921, Matel Dawson learned the value of hard work at a young age.He left school in the ninth grade to help support his family.By the time he was eighteen, Dawson had moved to Detroit in search of a better job.In those days, the North held better prospects for an African American man.He quickly landed a job with Ford Motor Company where he worked until he retired at the age of eighty-one.
Although never receiving much education, Matel Dawson valued higher education as a key to success for students of all races and backgrounds.Over his lifetime, Dawson donated over $600,000 to Wayne Stale University alone.In 1996 he received an honorary Doctor of Humane Letters degree from WSU, a sign to recognize his contribution to the university.
Although, at one time, he owned a large house and nice cars, Dawson lived a more modest lifestyle.He drove a used car and moved into a small apartment.He used to work seven days a week and put in overtime.After retirement, he stayed active at People's Community Church, where he had been a member for decades.Additionally he enjoyed the company of his daughter and grandson.
Dawson, exceptional generosity serves as a model for nontraditional charity.His contributions show that one need not be a millionaire or live like one to give away over one million dollars and to make a lasting change on the lives of fellow citizens.

Born in Northeast China's Heilongjiang Province in 1957, Zhang traveled to Yunnan at the age of 17 and has been helping girls from poor areas pursue education for over 40 years.Zhang helped establish the country's first senior high school to offer free education for girls from poor families.The school provides free education to girls who would otherwise have had no chance to study after completing their nine years of compulsory education.
Despite having serious health problems, Zhang Guimei took morning classes with students for 12 years.She has also racked_up 110,000 kilometers visiting her students' families over the years.Most of her salary and bonuses were spent on students.Since the school opened in 2008, it has seen more than 1,800 students progress to universities and colleges.
“I was built to be a mountain not a creek, rising to the high peaks with the small valleys at my feet.I was born to be great, not worthless, standing on the shoulders of the giants, the petty cowards beneath me.” The motto of Huaping High School for Girls is also a true reflection of Zhang Guimei's strength and resolve.
On Feb 25, 2021 President Xi Jinping presented an award to Zhang Guimei to mark the nation's poverty alleviation accomplishments and honor exceptional poverty fighters at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.

At the end of her flying career, Ochoa had traveled nearly 1,000 hours in space.From 2012 to 2018, Ochoa served as the director of Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas, only the second woman to head up NASA's human spaceflight headquarters.
Mamie Phipps Clark
Mamie Phipps Clark was an American social psychologist (心理学家), who specialized in child development in black children.Born in Arkansas, Clark drew on her early experiences as a black child in the segregated (种族隔离的) American South to help children growing up with the same iniquities.
Clark stated at Howard University in 1934, and went on to complete a PhD in psychology.She and Kenneth, now her husband, were the first two black people to earn PhDs at Columbia.With their funding, she started the famous Doll Test, which showed the negative effects of school segregation on black children.

Anandibai Jpshee was to become India's first woman physician with a medical degree.When she was young, her father strayed (偏离) from the traditional Hindu belief that women should not receive education and encouraged her to go to school.When she was fifteen, she was determined to study medicine, a choice likely influenced by the loss of an infant son and surviving a serious illness herself.At the Woman's Medical College, Joshee studied devotedly, hoping to return to India to serve other Indian women.
